The original conception of atomism suggests
“atoms”, which cannot be divided more into composing parts. However, the name
“atom” in physics is reserved for entities, which can be divided into electrons,
protons, neutrons and other “elementary particles”, some of which are in turn
compounded by other, “more elementary” ones. Instead of this, quantum mechanics
is grounded on the actually indivisible quanta of action limited by the
fundamental Planck constant. It resolves the problem of how both discrete and
continuous (even smooth) to be described uniformly and invariantly in thus. Quantum mechanics can be interpreted in terms
of quantum information. Qubit is the indivisible unit (“atom”) of quantum
information. The imagery of atomism in modern physics moves from atoms of
matter (or energy) via “atoms” (quanta) of action to “atoms” (qubits) of
quantum information. This is a conceptual shift in the cognition of reality to
terms of information, choice, and time.
Key words: atom, quantum, qubit, quantum
information, choice
