Quantum extension of conditional probability

چکیده
We analyze properties of the quantum conditional amplitude operator @Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 5194 ~1997!#, which plays a role similar to that of the conditional probability in classical information theory. The spectrum of the conditional operator that characterizes a quantum bipartite system is shown to be invariant under local unitary transformations and reflects its inseparability. More specifically, it is proven that the conditional amplitude operator of a separable state cannot have an eigenvalue exceeding 1, which results in a necessary condition for separability. A related separability criterion based on the non-negativity of the von Neumann conditional entropy is also exhibited. @S1050-2947~99!00608-3#

Quantum key distribution without the wavefunction
A well-known feature of quantum mechanics is the secure exchange of secret bit strings which can then be used as keys to encrypt messages transmitted over any classical communication channel. It is demonstrated that this quantum key distribution allows a much more general and abstract access than commonly thought. The results include some generalizations for the Hilbert space version of quantum...
متن کاملNon-classical conditional probability and the quantum no-cloning theorem
The quantum mechanical no-cloning theorem for pure states is generalized and transfered to the quantum logics with a conditional probability calculus. This is, on the one hand, an extension of the classical probability calculus and, on the other hand, a mathematical generalization of the Lüders von Neumann quantum measurement process. In the non-classical case, a very special type of conditiona...
متن کاملExtension of Boolean algebra by a Bayesian operator: application to the definition of a Deterministic Bayesian Logic
This work contributes to the domains of Boolean algebra and of Bayesian probability, by proposing an algebraic extension of Boolean algebras, which implements an operator for the Bayesian conditional inference and is closed under this operator. It is known since the work of Lewis (Lewis’ triviality) that it is not possible to construct such conditional operator within the space of events. Never...
متن کاملQuantum phenomena via complex measure: Holomorphic extension
The complexmeasure theoretic approach proposed earlier is reviewed and a general version of density matrix as well as conditional density matrix is introduced. The holomorphic extension of the complex measure density (CMD) is identified to be the Wigner distribution function of the conventional quantum mechanical theory. A variety of situations in quantum optical phenomena are discussed within ...
متن کاملFuzzy Quantum Probability Theory
This paper surveys some of the recent results that have been obtained in fuzzy quantum probability theory. In this theory fuzzy events are represented by quantum effects and fuzzy random variables are represented by quantum measurements. Probabilities, conditional probabilities and sequential products of effects are discussed. The relationship between the law of total probability and compatibil...
