Thank you for the update [1]. Currently, I am developing a library in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL for verifying quantum cryptography. In this library, I am using the complex numbers as an approximation of reality, not as reality itself, but as Claude Aslangul said: in physics, there is neither zero nor infinite (quotation in [3]). So, if reality is described by finite mathematics rather than by continuous mathematics as you consider, there may be possible to violate the security of a quantum cryptographic system whose security proof is based on the assumption that reality is discrete. Such a violation may be in theory, assuming ideal conditions which are beyond the current engineering possibilities. Nevertheless, even in that case, my library is just a first approximation, more precise approximations of reality are future work.
Also, I would like to share this email with Prof. Saburou Saitoh, who is also trying to avoid the notion of mathematical infinite and he developed a geometric interpretation of the fact that any number divided by zero is zero [2]. This may seem crazy, but after reading him everything makes sense. A short explanation could be that identifying zero with infinite in the Riemann sphere we obtain the desired results (Horn torus [4]), i.e., large complex numbers (in absolute value) are like small complex numbers (in absolute value) in some sense, hence zero is identified with infinite and the sphere becomes a torus.
