What did the creators of the ancient “Yijing” (Book of Changes) think about the relations between the mind and the universe? Was their understanding more in line with a clockwork type of Newtonian universe or a holistic quantum universe? In this book, we explore the connections between modern quantum science and the ancient Yijing. The Yijing is a classic text that elucidates the profound principles of humans and their relation to the universe, and forms the foundation of Chinese traditional thought. Quantum science brings us to the dawn of a new era of science and technology and provides a key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. We show how the principles of quantum theory were also contemplated in some ways by the creators of the Yijing. In short, there seems to be some quantum theory hidden inside the Yijing.

Meijuan Lu, OMD, is currently the President of Meng River Health Co., Ltd. in the United States. She was born into a family of four generations of traditional Chinese medicine doctors. She studied at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, practiced in Hospitals in China for over 10 years, and then moved to North America in the early 1990s. She is a member of the Society for Mind and Matter, and she has published several articles in the journal “Mind and Matter.” She has also presented her work at the Science of Consciousness Conferences.

Jerome R Busemeyer is Distinguished Professor in Psychological and Brain Sciences, Cognitive Science, and Statistics at Indiana University-Bloomington. He was the Manager of the Cognition and Decision Program at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research in 2005-2007 and he served as the Chief Editor of Journal of Mathematical Psychology from 2005-2010. With Peter Bruza, he co-authored the book titled “Quantum models of Cognition and Decision” published in 2012.

"This thought-provoking book spans two seemingly disparate theories of the universe: YiJing theory and Quantum Science. Both have their own native conceptual frameworks, symbols, systems of thought, spanning East and West, across a few millenia. Despite these differences, the authors take us on a fascinating journey, showing how each theory, in its own unique way, points to the same mysterious indeterminate nature of the universe, thereby inviting us to broaden our views of what science is."
- Peter Bruza Professor, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
"I originally thought that the Yijing theory of the East and the quantum physics theory of the West were two parallel lines that did not intersect each other. After reading this book, I found that the author blended the two together with a unique perspective, making these two parallel lines intersect. This discovery shows that ancient Eastern culture can be integrated with modern science. Reading it can be said to be an eye-opener. This is a good book that combines the East and the West, and it is worth reading."
- Wang Yafa, Book Author and Writer
"Lu and Busemeyer masterfully bridge East and West, past and future, Yijing and Quantum Theory. By presenting inspiring connections between the nature of the universe—such as yin-yang and qubits—they shed new light on this ancient text. This human-centric perspective, where the macrocosm (the universe) and the microcosm (the human) are entangled, gives rise to tantalizing new ideas in the ongoing pursuit of understanding the human mind and its place in the cosmos. "
- Goren Gordon, Professor of Informatics at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA
"This book is a groundbreaking work to fully understand the “Yijiing” from the perspective of quantum theory and likewise understand quantum science from the philosophical perspective of the “Yijing”. The author of the book compares the "yin-yang" duality of the “Yijing” to a quantum qubit with a brilliant stroke of conceptual integration. This book opens up a novel interpretation path for the two classic theories of the East and the West, and the unexpected consistency in understanding the universe between modern quantum science and “Yijing” theory is sure to attract readers with the strong attraction of ancient and modern thoughts."
- Yin Kai, Professor, Tianjin Medical University, China
