Abstract

This paper presents the results of more than 10 years of transdisciplinary work. The initial idea was: can the laws of Nature also been found of rebuilt, independently from theoretical research in Physics (on elementary particles and matter in general), also in the field of Computer Science i.e. Information Processing? Pressing a lemon reveals its juice and stones; if one “tortures” matter, the components of its (first electrons, neutrons and protons, then quarks and gluons at a lesser order of magnitude) may be detected. What will appear if one tries to compress algorithms instead of atoms? APL seemed to be the ideal candidate for such a systematical investigation that led to some intriguing results which first proved to be indeed strongly connected with the conventional laws of Physics, then might enlighten in a new way many apparently-independent observations and studies, in a variety of fields such as neural networks, natural-language and signal processing, fractal geometry, Biology and Genetics inter alia.

Genuine three-partite entanglement in coherent states via permutation and parity symmetries

By using the works, Spiridonov (Phys Rev A 52:1909, 1995), and Wang et al. (J Phys A Math Gen 33:7451, 2000), we propose an approach to obtain genuine three-partite entangled coherent states in which the permutation symmetry and the parity one play ...
