Problem of the direct quantum-information transformation of chemical substance

<i>Arthur Clark and Michael Kube–McDowell
(“The Triger”, 2000) suggested the sci-fi idea about the direct transformation
from a chemical substance into another by the action of a newly physical,
“Trigger” field. Karl Brohier, a Nobel Prize winner, who is a dramatic persona
in the novel, elaborates a new theory, re-reading and re-writing Pauling’s “The
Nature of the Chemical Bond”; according to Brohier: “Information organizes and
differentiates energy. It regularizes and stabilizes matter. Information
propagates through matter-energy and mediates the interactions of
matter-energy.” Dr Horton, his collaborator in the novel replies: “If the
universe consists of energy and information, then the Trigger somehow alters
the information envelope of certain substances –“. </i>

<i>“Alters it, scrambles it, overwhelms it,
destabilizes it” Brohier adds.</i>

<i>There is a scientific debate whether or
how far chemistry is fundamentally reducible to quantum mechanics.
Nevertheless, the fact that many essential chemical properties and reactions
are at least partly representable in terms of quantum mechanics is doubtless. </i><i>For the quantum mechanics itself has been reformulated
as a theory of a special kind of information, quantum information, chemistry
might be in turn interpreted in the same terms. </i>

<i>Wave
function, the fundamental concept of quantum mechanics, can be equivalently
defined as a series of qubits, eventually infinite. A qubit, being defined as
the normed superposition of the two orthogonal subspaces of the complex Hilbert
space, can be interpreted as a generalization of the standard bit of
information as to infinite sets or series. All “forces” in the Standard model,
which are furthermore essential for chemical transformations, are groups
[U(1),SU(2),SU(3)] of the transformations of the complex Hilbert space and
thus, of series of qubits. </i>

<i>One
can suggest that any chemical substances and changes are fundamentally
representable as quantum information and its transformations. If entanglement
is interpreted as a physical field, though any group above seems to be
unattachable to it, it might be identified as the “Triger field”. It might
cause a direct transformation of any chemical substance by from a remote
distance. Is this possible in principle?</i>
