Quantum probability assignment limited by relativistic causality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum theory has nonlocal correlations, which bothered Einstein, but found to satisfy relativistic causality. Correlation for a shared quantum state manifests itself, in the standard quantum framework, by joint probability distributions that can be obtained by applying state reduction and probability assignment that is called Born rule. Quantum correlations, which show nonlocality when the shared state has an entanglement, can be changed if we apply different probability assignment rule. As a result, the amount of nonlocality in quantum correlation will be changed. The issue is whether the change of the rule of quantum probability assignment breaks relativistic causality. We have shown that Born rule on quantum measurement is derived by requiring relativistic causality condition. This shows how the relativistic causality limits the upper bound of quantum nonlocality through quantum probability assignment.

Instantaneous spreading and Einstein causality in quantum theory
In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the wave-function of a free particle which initially is in a ÿnite volume immediately spreads to inÿnity. In a nonrelativistic theory this is of no concern, but we show that the same instantaneous spreading can occur in relativistic quantum theory and that transition probabilities in widely separated systems may instantaneously become nonzero. We discuss how...
متن کاملTime Asymmetric Quantum Theory III. Decaying States and the Causal Poincaré Semigroup
A relativistic resonance which was defined by a pole of the S-matrix, or by a relativistic Breit-Wigner line shape, is represented by a generalized state vector (ket) which can be obtained by analytic extension of the relativistic Lippmann-Schwinger kets. These Gamow kets span an irreducible representation space for Poincaré transformations which, similar to the Wigner representations for stabl...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical probabilities and general probabilistic constraints for Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen–Bohm experiments
Relativistic causality, namely, the impossibility of signaling at superluminal speeds, restricts the kinds of correlations which can occur between different parts of a composite physical system. Here we establish the basic restrictions which relativistic causality imposes on the joint probabilities involved in an experiment of the Einstein-PodolskyRosen-Bohm type. Quantum mechanics, on the othe...

متن کاملProbability in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
It is argued that, although in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics there is no “probability” for an outcome of a quantum experiment in the usual sense, we can understand why we have an illusion of probability. The explanation involves: a). A “sleeping pill” gedanken experiment which makes correspondence between an illegitimate question: “What is the probability of an outcome of ...
