Quantum internet is sadly a lie. You cannot have an "internet" without public key infrastructure, and I am not aware of anyone putting forward a scalable quantum algorithm for public key infrastructure, and all of these algorithms always only discuss things like key exchange algorithms.

Uh, entangled particles are not connected such that changing one instantly changes the other. That would violate the no-communication theorem. They are independent of one another.

He didn't say that, and I'm not sure of any "paradox" that is still out there that doesn't have good answers to it in the literature.

What qualifies as understanding it, then?

In philosophy it's impossible to get anyone to agree on anything. You need objective grounding for collaboration to make sense. If a person says quantum mechanics proves we all live inside of a grand cosmic consciousness, well, I can't prove them wrong, and in academia they would be taken seriously.

When you observe a system, since you can't include yourself in your own description, you inherently lose access to information regarding its phase, although you gain information regarding its state. But another perspective could still have access to that phase info if it doesn't have state info.

Information you gain about yourself is still going to be subject to the uncertainty principle since you have to gain it through reflection. The uncertainty principle is kind of a "knowledge balance principle" (per Spekkens' phrasing) that limits the total information about a system you can have.

You don't include yourself in your own description of reality, you include a reflection of yourself. You cannot see your own eyeballs, only a reflection of your eyeballs, which is an external object. Information you have access to depends upon the uncertainty principle and is already formalized.

In contrast to the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics is not yet based on a generally accepted conceptual foundation. It is proposed here that the missing principle may be identified through th...

I've never paid for anything AI, so I am not sure I could "support". Most everything I do with AI I run locally on my own machines, and if I use any online tool I am not paying for it.
