A Computer Model of Basic Quantum Physics — •Hans Diel — Seestr. 102, 71067 Sindelfingen

The paper starts with a general discussion of the major different description methods in information technology and physics, leading to the conclusion that process-based models of physics may deserve greater attention, at least with quantum physics.

One such process-based model, a so-called Elementary Quantum Automaton, EQA is presented in the paper. Its implementation as a computer model enables experimentation with the basic concepts of quantum theory. Due to the relatively broad scope covered by the EQA, its definition forces to take position also on subjects which usually are discussed under No-dqInterpretation of Quantum PhysicsNo-dq, such as the No-dqMeasurement ProblemNo-dq.

The computer model of EQA is implemented in the object oriented programming technology using the Java programming language. This allows the provision of a framework for experimentation with alternative versions, refinements, and extensions of EQA. The usage of Java would also enable cooperative work on evolving EQAs.
