Abstract:

In order to study the SFEP and its characteristics, a method for describing SFEP using quantum concepts is proposed. The relationship between SFEP and event function states was discussed. The principle of describing SFEP by quantum thought was studied. The mathematical model of quantum description of SFEP was constructed. The measurement collapse of SFEP quantum states was realized, and the failure mode and its probability were finally determined. The results indicate that SFEP has diversity and uncertainty, event quantum state superposition, measurement collapse, bipolar state, which is the basis of studying SFEP through quantum thought. SFEP can be decomposed into multiple layers, with distinct objects and quantum state superposition modes in each layer. The SFEP quantum states are derived from the superposition of the quantum states of objects at each layer, which is composed of the polynomial product of the probability amplitude of the objects in each layer. The restriction conditions for the formation of the probability amplitude of quantum states of each layer are given. Each dimension of the SFEP quantum state vector is a fault state. The measurement of the factor phase value makes the SFEP quantum state collapse, and the possible failure mode and occurrence probability are obtained.

Key words: quantum thought, system fault evolution process (SFEP), failure mode, quantum state superposition, measurement collapse
