Quantum Mechanics as an Exotic Probability Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent results suggest that quantum mechanical phenomena may be interpreted as a failure of standard probability theory and may be described by a Bayesian complex probability theory.

Interpreting Probabilities in Quantum Field Theoryand Quantum Statistical Mechanics
In ordinary nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (QM), the observables pertaining to a system typically form the self-adjoint part of the algebra B(H) of bounded operators acting on a Hilbert space H.1 B(H) is an algebra of the genus von Neumann and the species Type I factor.2 Here we consider quantum systems whose observable-algebras belong to the same genus, but correspond to more exotic species...

Probability theory can be modified in essentially one way while maintaining consistency with the basic Bayesian framework. This modification results in copies of standard probability theory for real, complex or quaternion probabilities. These copies, in turn, allow one to derive quantum theory while restoring standard probability theory in the classical limit. This sequence is presented in some...
متن کاملKelvin Waves and Dynamic Knots on Perturbative Helical Vortex Lines
Vortex lines are one-dimensional extended objects in three-dimensional superfluids. Vortex lines have many interesting properties, including Kelvin waves, exotic statistics, and possible entanglement. In this paper, an emergent ”quantum world” is explored by projecting helical vortex lines. A one-dimensional quantum Fermionic model is developed to effectively describe the local fluctuations of ...

متن کاملAn Outline of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is, viewed purely as a mathematical theory, a generalisation of probability theory (a non-commutative probability theory). Application to a concrete problem however, reduces the theory to a probability theory in the classical sense [1, p. 280]. Quantum Mechanics thus (only) aspires to yield expectation values and probability distributions for the outcomes of statistical experi...
