The nature of the active ingredient in ultramolecular dilutions
Otto Weingärtner

This paper discusses the nature of the active ingredient of  
homeopathic ultramolecular dilutions in terms of quantitative physics.
First, the problem of the nature of an active ingredient in  
ultramolecular dilutions is analysed leading to the recognition of the  
necessity of characterizing the active ingredient as a non-local  
quality.
Second, non-locality in quantum mechanics, which is used as a  
paradigm, is formally presented.
Third, a generalization of quantum mechanics is considered, focussing  
on the consequences of weakening of the axioms.
The formal treatment leads to the possible extension of the validity  
of quantum theory to macroscopic or even non-physical systems under  
certain circumstances with a while maintaining non-local behaviour.  
With respect to the survival of entanglement in such non-quantum  
systems a strong relationship between homeopathy and non-local  
behaviour can be envisaged. I describe how several authors apply this  
relationship. In conclusion, the paper reviews how quantum mechanics  
is closely related to information theory but why weak quantum theory  
and homeopathy have not hitherto been related in the same way.
