Quantum fiction is a literary genre that reflects modern experience of the material world and reality as influenced by quantum theory and new principles in quantum physics. The genre is not necessarily science-themed and blurs the line separating science fiction and fantasy into a broad scope of mainstream literature that transcends the mechanical model of science and involves the fantasy of human perception or imagination as realistic components affecting the every day physical world. Quantum fiction is characterized by the use of an element in quantum mechanics as a storytelling device. In quantum fiction, everyday life hinges on some aspect of the quantum nature of reality. The genre reflects the modern human experience of new perceptions about material reality as affected by quantum physics, which transcends mechanical models of science and factors in imagination and human perception as components of reality. This genre is characterized by any or all of the following characteristics: * The author's use of quantum mechanics to make possible supernatural, paranormal, or fantastic elements of a story in which reality appears to defy the laws of mechanical physics * A character as a consciously influencing observer of reality * The scientific recognition of an unquantified animating force of matter measured by Observer effect (physics), posited as consciousness or spirit * A theme, character, or events of a story existing per an element explainable as reality according to quantum theory * Adventures involving synchronicity, multiple dimension reality, interactive metaverses, parallel worlds or life as a multiverse * Consciousness (a character or a reader) as an interactive influence in the creation and perception of reality and plot line * Reality behaving unpredictably as per subatomic particles ==Origin of the genre== Novelist Vanna Bonta claimed to have coined the term ''quantum fiction'' in 1996, when she published her novel ''Flight: A Quantum Fiction Novel''.〔〔''St. Petersburg Times'', April 14, 1996, by Delilah Shapiro Jones; "FLIGHT: A Quantum Fiction Novel may be the first work of 'quantum fiction' in recorded history."〕〔(Flight: quantum fiction and alternate realities ), Gaggle of Book Review; January 26, 2008.〕〔(An Interview with Author Vanna Bonta ). Producer/director Laurel van der Linde interviews author Vanna Bonta about the emerging genre of quantum fiction; November 2007.〕〔Maria Zuppello, (Quantum Fiction ) quando la quantistica detta le leggi della scrittura, Panorama Mondadori, January 16, 2008.〕 In the story, the protagonist struggles to tell real life from elements in a novel he is writing, as people and events from his novel begin to appear in reality.〔(Flight: a quantum fiction novel ) Book summary and reviews〕 The first line of Bonta's novel is: “Which came first — the observer or the particle?”〔("Which came first — the observer or the particle?" ) The eternal question.〕 Bonta defined quantum fiction as stories in which consciousness affects physics and determines reality; in her words, "the genre is broad and includes life."〔(Quantum fiction definition. )〕 Bonta further explained her development of this new genre: "I don't write science fiction. Science fiction is a niche genre, defined by Ray Bradbury as depiction of the real. 'Quantum fiction' is the realm of all possibilities. The genre is broad, and includes life because fiction is an inextricable part of reality in its various stages, and vice versa."〔"Vanna Bonta Talks About Quantum fiction", author Interview by Laurel van der Linde, 2007 ((transcript at gather.com ), (audio at IMDB.com ))〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quantum fiction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
