A possible explanation for the probabilities of quantum mechanics

D Aerts - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1986 - pubs.aip.org
It is shown that a lack of knowledge about the measurements of a physical system gives rise
to a nonclassical probability calculus for this physical system. It is also shown that the …

On hidden variables and quantum mechanical probabilities

EP Wigner - Part I: Particles and Fields. Part II: Foundations of …, 1997 - Springer
An argument, due originally to JS Bell, is somewhat simplified and made more specific. It
deals primarily with a quantum mechanical system consisting of the spins of two spin-½ …

Can quantum mechanics be formulated as a classical probability theory?

L Cohen - Philosophy of Science, 1966 - cambridge.org
It is shown that quantum mechanics cannot be formulated as a stochastic theory involving a
probability distribution function of position and momentum. This is done by showing that the …

[图书][B] Quantum probability-quantum logic

I Pitowsky - 1989 - Springer
This book compares various approaches to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in
particular those which are related to the key words" the Copenhagen interpretation"," the …

On an alleged “proof” of the quantum probability law

EJ Squires - Physics letters A, 1990 - Elsevier
We endeavour to show that, contrary to many claims in the literature, it is not possible to
deduce the quantum probability rule by considering many copies of a system and using the …

A classical extension of quantum mechanics

EG Beltrametti, S Bugajski - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 1995 - iopscience.iop.org
A physically natural generalization of the notion of observable that encompasses both the
classical and the quantum ones is derived. Based on it, the idea of the classical extension of …

The range of quantum probability

I Pitowsky - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1986 - pubs.aip.org
The set of all pair (and in fact higher-order) distributions that are representable in quantum
mechanics is characterized and compared with the classical range. Various interference …

Conditional probabilities in quantum mechanics. I.—Conditioning with respect to a single event

G Cassinelli, N Zanghi - Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996), 1983 - Springer
The mathematical structure of quantum mechanics suggests the definition of a generalized
probability space, consisting of the lattice of projections of a von Neumann algebra and a …

Probability concepts in quantum mechanics

P Suppes - Philosophy of Science, 1961 - cambridge.org
The fundamental problem considered is that of the existence of a joint probability distribution
for momentum and position at a given instant. The philosophical interest of this problem is …

Probability theory in quantum mechanics

LE Ballentine - American Journal of Physics, 1986 - pubs.aip.org
The abstract theory of probability and its interpretation are briefly reviewed, and it is explicitly
demonstrated that the formalism of quantum mechanics satisfies the axioms of probability …
