Crossing the Data Divide: Quantum Information Theory and the Future of Data Management

An unlikely combination of events inspired this column: learning Chinese and binge-watching MIT lectures on quantum mechanics.

Somewhere between wrestling tones in Mandarin and Hilbert spaces in quantum physics, it struck me: These two pursuits have something in common with enterprise data.

They’re all about meaning, context, and the stubborn refusal of reality to fit neatly into our categories.

Welcome to a two-part series on what data leaders can learn from quantum information theory (QIT).
