Contextual Deterministic Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a simple proof of quantum contextuality for a spinless particle with a one dimensional configuration space. We then discuss how the maximally realistic deterministic quantum mechanics recently constructed by this author and V. Singh can be applied to different contexts.

Quantum computation, discreteness, and contextuality
We establish a link between contextuality of quantum mechanics and quantum-mechanical computation. Specifically, we show that no deterministic measurement-based quantum computation evaluating a non-linear function can be described by a non-contextual hidden-variable model. We give examples for such computations derived from quantum codes with suitable transversality properties, and from a count...
متن کاملContextuality, Nonlocality and Counterfactual Arguments
Abstract In this paper, following an elementary line of thought which somewhat differs from the usual one, we prove once more that any deterministic theory predictively equivalent to quantum mechanics unavoidably exhibits a contextual character. The purpose of adopting this perspective is that of paving the way for a critical analysis of the use of counterfactual arguments when dealing with non...
متن کاملForcing Discretization and Determination in Quantum History Theories
We present a formally deterministic representation for quantum history theories where we obtain the probabilistic structure via a discrete contextual variable: no continuous probabilities are as such involved at the primal level — we conceive as a history theory any theory that deals with sequential quantum measurements but remains essentially a dichotomic propositional theory. A major part of ...
متن کاملContextual Random Boolean Networks
We propose the use of Deterministic Generalized Asynchronous Random Boolean Networks [1] as models of contextual deterministic discrete dynamical systems. We show that changes in the context have drastic effects on the global properties of the same networks, namely the average number of attractors and the average percentage of states in attractors. We introduce the situation where we lack knowl...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Probabilities in Quantum Mechanics: Creative and Contextual Aspects∗
At the beginning of this century, a lot of changes as well in the field of politics, art and sciences have led to a change of paradigms and ways in which people think and interact with ‘(the/their) world’. That climate of change lasted the whole century, due to the inertia of old ideas and the required time people needed to build ‘new images’ (or even, new world views) that incorporate the new ...
