Quantum distribution functions for radial observables
The Wigner quasi-probability distribution function is a familiar tool to many working in quantum and atom optics [1]. It is primarily used in the classical-quantum correspondence where the appearance of positive and negative regions of the Wigner function gives easily understood information concerning the probability concentrations and quantum interferences present within the quantum state [2]....
متن کاملDeterminate Values for Quantum Observables
This is a comment on J. A. Barrett’s article “The Preferred-Basis Problem and the Quantum Mechanics of Everything” in Brit. J. Phil. Sci. 56 (2005), which concerns theories postulating that certain quantum observables have determinate values, corresponding to additional (often called “hidden”) variables. I point out that it is far from clear, for most observables, what such a postulate is suppo...
متن کاملAlgebra for generalised quantum observables
Generalised observables (POM observables) are necessary for representing all possible measurements on a quantum system. Useful algebraic operations such as addition and multiplication are defined for these observables, recovering many advantages of the more restrictive Hermitian operator formalism. Examples include new uncertainty relations and metrics, and optical phase applications.

form the base of a topology on the Stone spectrum Q(R) such that Q(R) becomes a zero-dimensional, completely regular Hausdorff space. The sets QP (R) are closed-open. If the von Neumann algebra R is abelian, then the Stone spectrum Q(R) is homeomorphic to the Gelfand spectrum Ω(R) of R. For an arbitrary non-abelian unital von Neumann algebra R, the Stone spectrum can hence be regarded as a non-...
متن کاملObservables in quantum gravity
We study a family of physical observable quantities in quantum gravity. We denote them W functions, or n-net functions. They represent transition amplitudes between quantum states of the geometry, are analogous to the n-point functions in quantum field theory, but depend on spin networks with n connected components. In particular, they include the three-geometry to three-geometry transition amp...
