The mysterious world of quantum mechanics is beyond human's daily experience. Can we understand such concepts as Hilbert space, tunneling, entanglement and so on, by our usual classical way? There is actually a no-go theorem for existence of a such classical interpretation of quantum mechanics. However it had been found that a deterministic cellular automaton model in one-space and one-time dimension, which processed only ones and zeros, can be mapped onto a quantum field theory on a 1+1 dimensional lattice. The natural system to apply all of this to is Superstring theory. This interpretation of uantum mechanics is called the cellular automaton (CA) interpretation.
超弦理論和量子力學基礎

量子力學的世界是超乎人類日常的生活經驗,我們用古典決定論的想法是難以暸解像是希伯特空間,穿隧效應,量子糾纏這些概念。甚至有定理告訴我們是無法用古典想法來解釋量子力學。可是這裡發現一個決定性的細胞自動機:在一維空間一維時間裡只處理0和1自由度的模型,可以完全的對應於二維時空的晶格量子場理論,一個自然的應用在二維的量子系統便是超弦理論,這樣對於量子力學的解釋稱為細胞自動機解釋(CA解釋)。
