Consistent histories and quantum reasoning.
A system of quantum reasoning for a closed system is developed by treating nonrelativistic quantum mechanics as a stochastic theory. The sample space corresponds to a decomposition, as a sum of orthogonal projectors, of the identity operator on a Hilbert space of histories. Provided a consistency condition is satisfied, the corresponding Boolean algebra of histories, called a framework, can be ...
متن کاملConsistent Histories and Operational Quantum Theory
In this work a generalization of the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics is presented. We first critically review the consistent histories approach to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in a mathematically rigorous way and give some general comments about it. We investigate to what extent the consistent histories scheme is compatible with the results of the operational formulation...
متن کاملThe Consistent Histories Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
The consistent histories (CH) reformulation of quantum mechanics (QM) was developed by Robert Griffiths, given a formal logical systematization by Roland Omnès, and under the label ‘decoherent histories’, was independently developed by Murray Gell-Mann and James Hartle and extended to quantum cosmology. Criticisms of CH involve issues of meaning, truth, objectivity, and coherence, a mixture of ...
متن کاملConsistent Histories and Quantum Delayed Choice
John Wheeler devised a gedanken experiment in which a piece of apparatus can be altered just before the arrival of particle, and this “delayed choice” can, seemingly, alter the quantum state of the particle at a much earlier time, long before the choice is made. A slightly different gedanken experiment, which exhibits the same conceptual difficulty, is analyzed using the techniques of consisten...
متن کاملQuantum jumps as decoherent histories
Quantum open systems are described in the Markovian limit by master equations in Lindblad form. I argue that common “quantum jumps” techniques, which solve the master equation by unraveling its evolution into stochastic trajectories in Hilbert space, correspond closely to a particular set of decoherent histories. This is illustrated by a simple model of a photon counting experiment. Recently a ...
