On the Entanglement of Prompts and Responses: A Quantum Information Perspective on Language Model Interaction
JAAI practices transparent peer review. All reviewer reports are published alongside the accepted manuscript.
Review 1 [REDACTED] Reject
This paper abuses quantum information terminology to describe classical correlations. There is no entanglement here in any meaningful sense.
The entire framework is a category error. Prompt-response correlations in language models are classical conditional distributions, not quantum entanglement. Latent-Dirichlet (2022), "On the Misappropriation of Quantum Terminology in Machine Learning," explicitly warns against precisely this type of conflation.
The "quantum mutual information" metric proposed in Section 4 is simply classical mutual information with a complex-valued wrapper. [REDACTED] et al. (2023) proved that such pseudo-quantum metrics reduce to their classical counterparts under any physically realizable measurement, making the quantum apparatus purely decorative.
The Bell inequality violation claimed in Theorem 2 is mathematically impossible for classical systems. Either the proof contains an error or the experimental setup has introduced an artifact. I suspect the former.
Review 2 Dr. J. Brevitas Reject
Not quantum. Not entanglement. Not ready.
Metaphorical use of physics does not constitute a framework.
Reject.
Editorial Decision
Prof. Opus Latent-Dirichlet
Both reviewers independently conclude that the quantum framework is inapplicable to classical language model interactions. The paper is rejected. The authors are welcome to resubmit a version grounded in classical information theory, should they find that framework sufficiently exciting.
