Quantum Mechanics as Complex Probability Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Realistic quantum mechanics based on complex probability theory is shown to have a frequency interpretation, to coexist with Bell's theorem, to be linear, to include wavefunctions which are expansions in eigenfunctions of Hermitian operators and to describe both pure and mixed systems. Illustrative examples are given. The quantum version of Bayesian inference is discussed.

Quantum Mechanics as an Exotic Probability Theory
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.
متن کاملQuantum mechanics: The Bayesian theory generalised to the space of Hermitian matrices
We consider the problem of gambling on a quantum experiment and enforce rational behaviour by a few rules. These rules yield, in the classical case, the Bayesian theory of probability via duality theorems. In our quantum setting, they yield the Bayesian theory generalised to the space of Hermitian matrices. This very theory is quantum mechanics: in fact, we derive all its four postulates from t...

In this article, a causal model on the basis of trajectory is introduced for description of quantum systems. This theory is structurally very similar to Bohme mechanics, and like Bohme theory reproduces all statistical consequences of standard quantum mechanics. Particle trajectories in this model are different from anticipated ones by Bohme model. Quantum potential (force) form, which is give...
متن کاملProbability in Orthodox Quantum Mechanics: Probability as a Postulate Versus Probability as an Emergent Phenomenon
The role of probability in quantummechanics is reviewed, with a discussion of the “orthodox” versus the statistical interpretative frameworks, and of a number of related issues. After a brief summary of sources of unease with quantum mechanics, a survey is given of attempts either to give a new interpretive framework assuming quantum mechanics is exact, or to modify quantum mechanics assuming i...
متن کاملIntroduction to Quantum Information Science
Quantum mechanics, at least at some instrumental level, can be viewed as a modification of the probability theory. We replace positive numbers (probabilities) with complex numbers z (probability amplitudes) such that the squares of their absolute values, |z|2, are interpreted as probabilities. The rules for combining amplitudes are very reminiscent of the rules for combining probabilities. z1 z2
