Su(2) Representation Theory Achieves 3-Dimensional Constraints in Graph Quantum Systems
A new study shows that graph‑based quantum systems lacking intrinsic geometry must encode directional information using qubits (ℂ²). By applying SU(2) representation theory, the authors prove that this minimal encoding forces a three‑dimensional Euclidean space via the Bloch sphere. The result is mathematically unique, holds for any graph topology, and higher‑order SU(N²) groups violate the directional‑only constraint. Numerical simulations confirm the theoretical predictions, establishing a rigorous link between information‑theoretic axioms and emergent spatial dimensions.
