CRITICAL REVIEW OF FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS IN PHYSICS Part 3 – “Quantum Discreteness”
The idea of “quantum computers” states that discrete states of quantum objects can be used to create information bits. In this part of the text we show that the practical implementation of such ideas is impossible, since the arguments put forward as a basis for such a realization contradict the principles of quantum mechanics. Our claims are based on a deep analysis of the physical phenomenon of spin. In particular, below we analyze in detail what the random nature of quantum properties means in the case of spin. To this end, we analyze both the empirical data obtained as a result of the Stern-Gerlach experiment and the scientific reliability of the conclusions based on this incomplete information. A critical assessment of the physical concepts built on these conclusions is carried out, and an experiment is indicated as a result of which the essence of the random nature of the quantum property of spin should be investigated more fully.
