Ethics and Quantum Mechanics
摘要
Quantum mechanics provides a description of the Universe that is considerably richer and filled with numerous possibilities. The adoption of quantum principles could significantly influence the ethical responsibilities within the engineering profession. It prompts consideration of whether a new ethical framework for engineering can be developed in alignment with the scientific paradigm of quantum mechanics. Conducting an ethical analysis in the context of quantum mechanics requires an examination of the moral considerations and implications associated with quantum technologies including entanglement and indeterminism which challenge traditional concepts of individuality, subjectivity, and the universal principles that have guided our actions.
