Weak Quantum Theory: Complementarity and Entanglement in Physics and Beyond

TL;DR

This paper introduces a generalized, weak version of quantum theory that extends the concepts of complementarity and entanglement beyond physics, with initial applications to various examples.

Contribution

It proposes a formally generalized weak quantum theory that broadens the scope of traditional quantum concepts beyond material systems.

Findings

Weak quantum theory extends traditional quantum concepts.

Preliminary applications demonstrate broader relevance.

Provides a formal framework for complementarity and entanglement beyond physics.

Abstract

The concepts of complementarity and entanglement are considered with respect to their significance in and beyond physics. A formally generalized, weak version of quantum theory, more general than ordinary quantum theory of material systems, is outlined and tentatively applied to some examples.
