O brave new quantum world!
LOL … Foils for Quantum Information Theory …
The obvious punning subtitle is Courses: Foliated Again!
Here the idea is that Hilbert space amplitudes are an over-complete set of coordinates on a lower-dimension dynamical state-space. It is difficult to observe that manifold directly, and so 20th century physicists found it to be phenomenologically convenient to ascribe quantum dynamics to constraint forces (gravity? gauge fields?) as contrasted with an equivalent geometric description in terms of Thurston-style Kählerian foliations.
With a nod to Jane Austin, perhaps Foils and Foliations would be even better! 🙂
