This article stands at the intersection between the relational turn in International Relations (IR) and the quantum turn in the social sciences (and more recently in IR as well). The relational turn draws much-needed attention to the centrality of relations in global politics, yet its imprecise conceptualization of whole-part relations casts shadow over its relational ontological foundation. The quantum turn, meanwhile, challenges the observed–observer dichotomy as well as the classical views about causality, determinacy, and measurement. Yet, despite their common stance against the Newtonian ontology, the relational and quantum turns have largely neglected each other at least in the IR context. This article aims to bridge this gap by introducing a quantum holographic approach to relationality. Drawing on theoretical physicist David Bohm’s work on quantum theory and his key concepts about wholeness and the implicate order, the article argues that the world is being holographically (trans)formed: its parts are not only parts of the whole, but also enfold the whole, like in a hologram. This quantum holographic ontology contributes to both a clearer differentiation between internal/implicate relations and external/explicate relations and a renewed emphasis on wholeness and whole-part duality. In doing so, it not only provides new conceptual tools to rethink IR as holographic relations which involve the dynamic processes and mechanisms of enfoldment and unfoldment, but also has important policy and ethical implications for the conduct of “foreign” relations and for transforming the way we think about identity, survival, relationship, and responsibility.

本文站在国际关系中的关系转向和社会科学中的量子转向之间的交叉点（最近在关系图中也是如此）。关系转向引起了人们对全球政治中关系中心性的迫切需要的关注，但是它对整体关系的不精确概念化为其关系本体论基础蒙上了阴影。同时，量子转向挑战了观察者与观察者的二分法以及有关因果关系，确定性和度量的经典观点。然而，尽管它们在反对牛顿本体论上有着共同的立场，但关系和量子转向至少在IR上下文中在很大程度上相互忽略了。本文旨在通过引入量子全息技术来弥合这一差距关系的方法。文章以理论物理学家戴维·博姆（David Bohm）在量子理论上的工作以及他关于整体性和隐含阶数的关键概念为依据，认为世界正在全息地（转化）地形成：它的各个部分不仅是整体的一部分，而且还包含整体，就像全息图一样。这种量子全息本体论有助于内部/牵连关系与外部/重复关系之间的更清晰区分，以及对整体性和整体部分对偶性的重新强调。这样，它不仅提供了新的概念工具来重新考虑IR，将其视为涉及关系发展和展开的动态过程和机制的全息关系，而且对“外国”关系的进行和转变方式具有重要的政策和伦理意义。我们考虑身份，
