Single Measurement of Figures

Abstract

We introduce a new approach in dealing with pattern recognition issue. Recognizing a pattern is definitely not the ex ploration of a new discovery but rather the search for already known patterns. In reading for example the same text written in a hand writing, letters can appear in different shapes. Still, the text decoding corresponds with interpreting the large variety of hand writings shapes with fonts. Quantum mechanics also offer a kind of interpretation tool. Although, with the superposition principle it is possible to compose an infinite number of states, yet, an observer by conducting a measurement reduces the number of observed states into the predetermined basis states. Not only that any state col lapses into one of the basis states, quantum mechanics also possesses a kind of correction mechanism in a sense that if the measured state is “ close enough ” to one of the basis state s , it will collapse with high probability into this predeter mined state. Thus, we can consider the collapse mechanism as a reliable way for the observer to interpret reality into his frame of concepts. Both interpretation ideas, pattern recognition and quantum measurement are integrated in this paper to formulate a quantum pattern recognition measuring procedure.
