Econophysics: from Game Theory and Information Theory to Quantum Mechanics

Author

  • Jimenez, Edward
  • Moya, Douglas

Abstract

Rationality is the universal invariant among human behavior, universe physical laws and ordered and complex biological systems. Econophysics isboth the use of physical concepts in Finance and Economics, and the use of Information Economics in Physics. In special, we will show that it is possible to obtain the Quantum Mechanics principles using Information and Game Theory.
