quantum mechanics - Is there a symmetry associated to the conservation of information?


Conservation of information seems to be a deep physical principle. For instance, Unitarity is a key concept in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory.



We may wonder if there is an underlying symmetry, in some space, which may explain this conservation of information.
