I'm assuming you're in disagreement with me. In which case I'm going to point you towards the literal formulation of quantum mechanics being the description of a state space[1]. The universe as a quantum markov chain is unambiguously the mathematical orthodoxy of contemporary physics, and is the defacto means by which serious simulations are constructed[2].

It's such a basic part of the field, I'm doubtful if you're talking about me in the first place? Nobody who has ever interacted with the intersection of quantum physics and computation would even blink.

[1] - Refer to Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics by Von Neumann for more information.

[2] - Refer to Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice for a description of a QCD lattice simulation being implemented as a markov chain.



There it is again.
