Abstract

The modeling of systems has been addressed in the physical sciences from the perspective of Energy and matter. The 3rd original idea of Communication as a means of modeling systems has been established and applied. In this study, we apply the 3rd original idea of communication to systems on a quantum level. By marrying Shannon's noisy communication channel to Feynman QED and Quantum Computing, we realize a visual model for the representation of the entropy of a noisy communication channel on a quantum scale. We also use that visual representation concept to define a geometric view into the superposition of a quantum register. The same concept will be used to define a quantum field for the representation of a quantum register. Finally, a quantum gate is developed to encapsulate Shannon's Noisy Channel Paradigm (SNCP) into a quantum operation.
