Contextual viewpoint to quantum stochastics
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the role of context, complex of physical conditions, in quantum as well as classical experiments. It is shown that by taking into account contextual dependence of experimental probabilities we can derive the quantum rule for the addition of probabilities of alternatives. Thus we obtain quantum interference without applying to wave or Hilbert space approach. The Hilbert space representation of contextual probabilities is obtained as a consequence of the elementary geometric fact: cos-theorem. By using another fact from elementary algebra we obtain complex-amplitude representation of probabilities. Finally, we found contextual origin of noncommutativity of incompatible observables.

Truth and Completeness in Quantum Mechanics: A Semantic Viewpoint
The Einstein, Podolski and Rosen (EPR) argument aiming to prove the incompleteness of quantum mechanics (QM) was opposed by most EPR’s contemporary physicists and is not accepted within the standard interpretation of QM, which maintains that QM is a complete theory. An analysis of the semantic implications of the opponent positions shows that they imply different notions of truth. The introduct...

We review the basic concepts of quantum stochastics using the universal Itô *-algebra approach. The main notions and results of classical and quantum stochastics are reformulated in this unifying approach. The thermal quantum Lévy process with commuting increments is defined in terms of the modular *-Itô algebra. The quasi-Markov quantum stochastic processes over increasing W*-algebras generate...
متن کاملQuantum Information
Recent developments in the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics have brought the theory closer to that of classical stochastics (probability and statistics). On the other hand, the unique character of quantum physics sets many of the questions addressed apart from those met classically in stochastics. Furthermore, concurrent advances in experimental techniques have led to a strong inte...
متن کاملPrinciple of Supplementarity: Contextual Probabilistic Viewpoint to Interference, Complementarity and Incompatibility
A contextual statistical model of the probabilistic description of physical reality is presented. Here contexts (sets of physical conditions) are considered as basic elements of reality. The relation with QM is discussed and a realistic analogue of Bohr's principle of com-plementarity is proposed. Opposite to Bohr's principle, our principle has no direct relation with mutual exclusivity for obs...
