Variational Information Principles to Unveil Physical Laws

This article demonstrates that the application of the variation method to purely information-theoretic models can lead to the discovery of fundamental equations in physics, such as Schrödinger’s equation. Our solution, expressed in terms of information parameters rather than physical quantities, suggests a profound implication—Schrödinger’s equation can be viewed as a unique physical expression of a more profound informational formalism, inspiring new avenues of research.
