Quantum Foundations of Reality: A Physics Talk on Condensates, Chaos, Chimera States and Computing.

A documentary/lecture I have compiled using previous videos in which I discuss the nature of quantum phenomena, the principles which govern their behavior and how we can use mathematical physics models to understand how these effects can work across the scales of reality, creating the emergent nature of chaos and chimera states in both quantum and classical systems, in a sense unifying them. The introduction is taken from an old interview with American Physicist John Archibald Wheeler in which he discusses the mysterianism inherent in the quantum mechanical nature of our reality in particular with regard to the observer effect and how the quantum phenomena are only made manifest in our reality by the act of observation which transform the infinite probabilities, a "smoky dragon" as it were, into a real and definite manifestation. The very fact that systems of quantum interactions can be modeled using classical analogies and these models themselves give rise to descriptions of collective quantum behavior also creates an added layer of mysterianism to the quantum nature of the universe. This is the emergent nature of the quantum mechanical equivalent of chaos and how ensembles of quantum particles modeled as oscillators will create unique behavior in the meta-stable medium between ordered interactions and randomization. These descriptions model not only how quantum systems behave in isolation but how they interact with the external forces that transform them from "smokey dragons" into definite phenomena. In effect we can view quantum mechanics itself as an inherent, scale dependent factor of the entire universe that operates in a balance between utilization of certain transition rules with the intrinsic flow of randomization that permeates the entire universe. Even more astonishing is just how many so-called "classical" phenomena also behave this way, especially when considering collective and complex adaptive systems. This more than any other reason is why it makes sense to begin to solve many of these multifaceted problems through the lens of quantum mechanics, a lens in which the emergent field of quantum computation will be the key to the entire enterprise of simulation and optimization of scenarios throughout the scale of reality.
