Then we proceed to propose a solution of the former along the lines of the solution of the latter which is based on the holographic gauge/gravity duality. The proposed solution is based on 1) the quantum dualism between the local view of reality provided by Copenhagen and the manifold view provided by the many-worlds and on 2) the properties of quantum entanglement in particular its fungibility.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-10T12:35:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum theory", "foundations", "draw systematic parallels", "information loss problem", "holographic gauge/gravity duality" ], "tags": [ "lecture notes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 91, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
