Towards a Usable Ontology for the Quantum World

Marcin Skulimowski

2019

Abstract

We present and discuss selected issues related to the problem of representing in a machine-readable way data and knowledge about the quantum level of reality. In particular, we propose a method of creating an ontology for the quantum world. The method uses a mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. We apply the method to obtain a toy ontology corresponding to the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics. We use the terms from the ontology to describe a simple quantum system. We also show how we can use the ontology to create semantic enhancements of scientific publications on quantum mechanics.
