Statistical Structures Underlying Quantum Mechanics and Social Science
Common observations of the unpredictability of human behavior and the influence of one question on the answer to another suggest social science experiments are probabilistic and may be mutually incompatible with one another, characteristics attributed to quantum mechanics (as distinguished from classical mechanics). This paper examines this superficial similarity in depth using the Foulis-Randa...
متن کاملSupmech: the Geometro-statistical Formalism Underlying Quantum Mechanics
A scheme of mechanics, called ‘supmech’, is developed which aims at providing a base for a solution of Hilbert’s sixth problem (seeking a unified axiomatization of physics and probability theory) and serves to develop quantum mechanics autonomously (i.e. without having to quantize classical systems). Integrating noncommutative symplectic geometry and noncommutative probability in an algebraic s...
متن کاملMathematics and Social Science: A Statistical Mechanics Approach to Immigration
From the current growth rate of Euro-pean immigration it is clear that in a few decades, people born outside Europe will represent a large percentage of the continent's total population. Although from an emotional point of view immigration is often perceived as a threat, to a large extent it represents an economic opportunity. When two cultures are merged, issues like the survival of each cultu...
متن کاملHow can statistical mechanics contribute to social science?
A model of interdependent decision making has been developed to understand group differences in socioeconomic behavior such as nonmarital fertility, school attendance, and drug use. The statistical mechanical structure of the model illustrates how the physical sciences contain useful tools for the study of socioeconomic phenomena.
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics_ Quantum statistical mechanics
Quantum statistical mechanics is statistical mechanics applied to quantum mechanical systems. In quantum mechanics a statistical ensemble (probability distribution over possiblequantum states) is described by a density operatorS, which is a nonnegative, self-adjoint, trace-classoperator of trace 1 on the Hilbert space Hdescribing the quantum system. This can be shown under various mathematical ...
