Abstract

The possibility of classifying and unifying some of the recent entanglement models for homeopathy is discussed. Unification involves combining the previous GHZ/WQT-based entanglement model, itself a fusion of Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) three-particle entanglement and a generalised version of quantum theory, called Weak Quantum Theory (WQT), with Walach's semiotic model involving double entanglement. The new combined model invokes a ‘geometry’ of patient–practitioner–remedy (PPR) entanglement embedded in a therapeutic state space.

Keywords

non-locality - GHZ entanglement - PPR entanglement - weak quantum theory - semiotic double entanglement - unification and classification of homeopathic quantum metaphors
