It comes down to Immanuel Kant's phenomena vs the noumena. On the phenomenological level classical physics is clearly important. On the noumena level things are less clear. If I am right quantum information has aspects of chaotic dynamics where it becomes impossible to determine if qubits in a system are conserved. One can't physically track them; it is much the same as sensitive dependence on sensitive conditions in chaotic classical deterministic physics. However, just as chaos is deterministic so ultimately is the conservation of qubits. However, whether qubits are from a practical level conserved is a choice of what question you ask --- much like choosing a particular quantum interpretation. Classical physics as phenomena, sure. It is noumena? That may depend on what observation or question you ask of nature. LC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
