It is interesting how counterintuitive quantum mechanics seems and yet many aspects make perfect sense in the eyes of a programmer. * The foundation of Quantum Mechanics is the idea of quanta. The data or physical quantities of a computer and our Universe can change only by discrete amounts like the bits of a computer. Time, space, and energy are quantized in our universe. * The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle also implies Interactions don't 'count' unless they affect some other piece of the system. Is the Universe doing called 'lazy evaluation' here? * Quantum entanglement is like dereferencing a pointer to our universe's data (quanta). Einstein called this spooky action at a distance. Physics today are using this principle to instantly teleport data on photons located hundreds of miles away. * In computer simulations, the von Neumann stabilitiy criterion states that no effect can propagate at a speed faster than the size step divided by the time step. Interactions in our universe are also limited by the speed of light. * E=mc2 : mass and energy are two forms of the same thing. Data and the instructions that operate on it are both stored in memory. * Holographic Principle does away with spatial locality, drastically reducing the number of possible states our Universe can have. None of this makes sense unless the Universe is trying to minimize resource usage.
