What did the creators of the ancient "Yijing" (Book of Changes) think about the relations between the mind and the universe? Was their understanding more in line with a clockwork type of Newtonian universe or a holistic quantum universe? In this book, we explore the connections between modern quantum science and the ancient Yijing. The Yijing is a classic text that elucidates the profound principles of humans and their relation to the universe, and forms the foundation of Chinese traditional thought. Quantum science brings us to the dawn of a new era of science and technology and provides a key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. We show how the principles of quantum theory were also contemplated in some ways by the creators of the Yijing. In short, there seems to be some quantum theory hidden inside the Yijing.

Arvustused

'This book is a groundbreaking work to fully understand the "Yijiing" from the perspective of quantum theory and likewise understand quantum science from the philosophical perspective of the "Yijing". The author of the book compares the 'yin-yang' duality of the "Yijing" to a quantum qubit with a brilliant stroke of conceptual integration. This book opens up a novel interpretation path for the two classic theories of the East and the West, and the unexpected consistency in understanding the universe between modern quantum science and "Yijing" theory is sure to attract readers with the strong attraction of ancient and modern thoughts.'Yin KaiProfessor, Tianjin Medical University, China'Lu and Busemeyer masterfully bridge East and West, past and future, Yijing and Quantum Theory. By presenting inspiring connections between the nature of the universesuch as yin-yang and qubitsthey shed new light on this ancient text. This human-centric perspective, where the macrocosm (the universe) and the microcosm (the human) are entangled, gives rise to tantalizing new ideas in the ongoing pursuit of understanding the human mind and its place in the cosmos. 'Goren GordonProfessor of Informatics at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA'I originally thought that the Yijing theory of the East and the quantum physics theory of the West were two parallel lines that did not intersect each other. After reading this book, I found that the author blended the two together with a unique perspective, making these two parallel lines intersect. This discovery shows that ancient Eastern culture can be integrated with modern science. Reading it can be said to be an eye-opener. This is a good book that combines the East and the West, and it is worth reading.'Wang YafaBook Author and Writer 'This thought-provoking book spans two seemingly disparate theories of the universe: YiJing theory and Quantum Science. Both have their own native conceptual frameworks, symbols, systems of thought, spanning East and West, across a few millenia. Despite these differences, the authors take us on a fascinating journey, showing how each theory, in its own unique way, points to the same mysterious indeterminate nature of the universe, thereby inviting us to broaden our views of what science is.'Peter BruzaProfessor, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
