Three sins against physics by an exaggerated quantum information perspective

Quantum Physics 2026-05-22 v1

Abstract

I point out three ways in which the perspective of quantum information may lead to distorted claims about physics: forgetting that light does not need to be quantised to show coherence; ignoring the generators of unitary evolutions; and approaching the discovery of nature as a fight against an adversary.
