A Bayesian Analogue of Gleason’s Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a novel notion of probability within quantum history theories and give a Gleasonesque proof for these assignments. This involves introducing a tentative novel axiom of probability. We also discuss the use of these probabilities and we introduce a tentative generalised notion of Shannon entropy.

The Classification of Decoherence Functionals: An Analogue of Gleason’s Theorem
Gell-Mann and Hartle have proposed a significant generalisation of quantum theory with a scheme whose basic ingredients are ‘histories’ and decoherence functionals. Within this scheme it is natural to identify the space UP of propositions about histories with an orthoalgebra or lattice. This raises the important problem of classifying the decoherence functionals in the case where UP is the latt...
متن کاملKochen–Specker Theorem: Two Geometric Proofs
We present two geometric proofs for KochenSpecker’s theorem [S. Kochen, E. P. Specker: The problem of hidden variables in quantum mechanics, J. Math. Mech. 17 (1967), 5987]. A quite similar argument has been used by Cooke, Keane, Moran [R. Cooke, M. Keane, W. Moran: An elementary proof of Gleason’s theorem, Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 98 (1985), 117128], and by Kalmbach in her book to derive G...
متن کاملNumerical Meshless Method in Conjunction with Bayesian Theorem for Electrical Tomography of Concrete
Electric potential measurement technique (tomography) was introduced as a nondestructive method to evaluate concrete properties and durability. In this study, numerical meshless method was developed to solve a differential equation which simulates electric potential distribution for concrete with inclusion in two dimensions. Therefore, concrete samples with iron block inclusion in different loc...
متن کاملGeneralizations of Kochen and Specker’s Theorem and the Effectiveness of Gleason’s Theorem
Kochen and Specker’s theorem can be seen as a consequence of Gleason’s theorem and logical compactness. Similar compactness arguments lead to stronger results about finite sets of rays in Hilbert space, which we also prove by a direct construction. Finally, we demonstrate that Gleason’s theorem itself has a constructive proof, based on a generic, finite, effectively generated set of rays, on wh...
متن کاملAn Unentangled Gleason’s Theorem
The purpose of this note is to give a generalization of Gleason’s theorem inspired by recent work in quantum information theory. For multipartite quantum systems, each of dimension three or greater, the only nonnegative frame functions over the set of unentangled states are those given by the standard Born probability rule. However, if one system is of dimension 2 this is not necessarily the case.
