Abstract

The source of some problems of the quantum mechanics is the observer’s influence on the system. In particular, such problems include the reduction wave function, which forces physicists to talk about “hidden parameters” and the incompleteness of quantum mechanics. Measurements of a quantum system violate its internal state and make it impossible to obtain information about its other parameters (Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle). In 1980 there appeared the thesis that since modeling the behavior of a quantum system on a classical computer cannot provide sufficient accuracy for reproducing all its parameters, there is a need for a quantum computer. The question arises: to what degree can a quantum computer help to solve traditional epistemological problems of quantum mechanics? Can modelling the behavior of elementary particles on a quantum computer “bypass” the problem of the observer’s influence on the system? In other words, is it possible to obtain information about the behavior of a quantum system without observation? Will the internal state of the simulated system be preserved?
