N ov 1 99 5 Classical behaviour in quantum mechanics : a transition probability approach ∗
A formalism is developed for describing approximate classical behaviour in finite (but possibly large) quantum systems. This is done in terms of a structure common to classical and quantum mechanics, viz. a Poisson space with a transition probability. Both the limit where → 0 in a fixed finite system and the limit where the size of the system goes to infinity are incorporated. In either case, c...
متن کاملA Quantum Approach to Classical Statistical Mechanics
We present a new approach to study the thermodynamic properties of d-dimensional classical systems by reducing the problem to the computation of ground state properties of a d-dimensional quantum model. This classical-to-quantum mapping allows us to deal with standard optimization methods, such as simulated and quantum annealing, on an equal basis. Consequently, we extend the quantum annealing ...
متن کاملIntroduction to Quantum Mechanics and the Quantum-classical Transition
In this paper we present a survey of the use of differential geometric formalisms to describe Quantum Mechanics. We analyze Schrödinger and Heisenberg frameworks from this perspective and discuss how the momentum map associated to the action of the unitary group on the Hilbert space allows to relate both approaches. We also study Weyl-Wigner approach to Quantum Mechanics and discuss the implica...
متن کاملClassical and Quantum Probability
We follow the development of probability theory from the beginning of the last century, emphasising that quantum theory is really a generalisation of this theory. The great achievements of probability theory, such as the theory of processes, generalised random fields, estimation theory and information geometry, are reviewed. Their quantum versions are then described.
متن کامل“Quantal” behavior in classical probability
Phenomena generally believed specific to quantum mechanics — the incompatibility and valueindeterminacy of variables, the non-existence of dispersion-free states, the failure of the standard marginal-probability formula, and the failure of the distributive law of disjunction (“interference”) — are exemplified in a fully non-quantal setting: Sequences of events in a nondeterministic system of mo...
