The Quantum Field as a Quantum Computer

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

It is supposed that at very small scales a quantum field is an infinite homogeneous quantum computer. On a quantum computer the information cannot propagate faster than c=a/τc=a/τ, aa and ττ being the minimum space and time distances between gates, respectively. It is shown that the information flow satisfies a Dirac equation, with speed v=ζcv=ζc and ζ=ζ(m)ζ=ζ(m) mass-dependent. For a/τ=ca/τ=c the speed of light ζ−1ζ^{-1} is a vacuum refraction index increasing monotonically from ζ−1(0)=1ζ^{-1}(0)=1 to ζ−1(M)=∞ζ^{-1}(M)=\infty, MM being the Planck mass for 2a2a the Planck length.
