Abstract:

Attention is drawn to the similarity between quantum mechanics and finding the simplest explanation for the data from an array of sensors. In particular, comparison of the Durbin-Willshaw approach to solving the travelling salesm an problem with the Feynman path integral for motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field suggests that quantum mechanics might be of practical use both for integrating multiple measurements and for solving nonpolynom ial (N P)-complete problems.
