Abstract: We illustrate some formal symmetries between Quadratic Funding (Buterin et al., 2019), a mechanism for the (approximately optimal) determination of public good funding levels, and the Born (1926) rule in Quantum Mechanics, which converts the wave representation into a probability distribution, through a bridging formulation we call "Quantum Quartic Finance". We suggest further directions for investigating the practical utility of these symmetries. We discuss potential interpretations in greater depth in a companion blog post.
