The project Reality and its Double: Perspective Symmetries and Complex Numbers between the Renaissance and Quantum Physics originates from the observation that two fundamental ingredients of quantum theory, complex numbers and probabilities, are both notable discoveries of the Renaissance. Is this just coincidence? Is there a significant relationship between the symmetries of the perspectiva pingendi in figurative space and the symmetries of the mathematical formalism of quantum physics? Or between the refinement of representational space made possible by linear perspective in art and by complex numbers in science?

Abstract

The project Reality and its Double: Perspective Symmetries and Complex Numbers between the Renaissance and Quantum Physics originates from the observation that two fundamental ingredients of quantum theory, complex numbers and probabilities, are both notable discoveries of the Renaissance. Is this just coincidence? Is there a significant relationship between the symmetries of the perspectiva pingendi in figurative space and the symmetries of the mathematical formalism of quantum physics? Or between the refinement of representational space made possible by linear perspective in art and by complex numbers in science?
