The quantum harmonic oscillator from binary sequences
The quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) is normally built on a structure that contains a Hilbert space, ladder operators, and a Born rule. Here we derive it from counting. We adopt three information-theoretic postulates: information is carried by binary sequences of length $n$; only symbol counts, not the sequences thems...
