Probability Distributions Describing Qubit-State Superpositions

Margarita A. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

We discuss qubit-state superpositions in the probability representation of quantum mechanics. We study probability distributions describing separable qubit states. We consider entangled states on the example of a system of two qubits (Bell states) using the corresponding superpositions of the wave functions associated with these states. We establish the connection with the properties and structure of entangled probability distributions.

Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics Where System States Are Identified with Probability Distributions

Vladimir N. Chernega, Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The probability representation of quantum mechanics where the system states are identified with fair probability distributions is reviewed for systems with continuous variables (the example of the oscillator) and discrete variables (the example of the qubit). The relation for the evolution of the probability distributions which determine quantum states with the Feynman path integral is found. The time-dependent phase of the wave function is related to the time-dependent probability distribution which determines the density matrix. The formal classical-like random variables associated with quantum observables for qubit systems are considered, and the connection of the statistics of the quantum observables with the classical statistics of the random variables is discussed.

Qubit state vector in probability representation of quantum mechanics

Vladimir N. Chernega, Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

Review of probability representation of quantum mechanics where the system states are identified with fair probability distributions is presented. Examples of qubits and qutrits are given in detail. The explicit expressions of the qubit density matrices and qubit state vectors in terms of probabilities of dichotomic random variables are discussed. The wave function of a qubit state, and its phase which is not contained in the density matrix of the state, are expressed in terms of the dichotomic probabilities. The generalisation of the probability representation to the case of qudit state is considered. The Schrödinger–like equation for spectra of Hermitian and non Hermitian Hamiltonians is written in the new form of equation for the dichotomic probabilities.

Probability Instead of Wave Function and Bell Inequalities as Entanglement Criterion

Vladimir I. Man’ko, Guillaume Adenier, Andrei Yu. Khrennikov +3 more

Review of the probability representation of quantum mechanics, in which a fair probability distribution is used instead of the density matrix or wave function to describe quantum states is presented. Bell inequalities are formulated as properties of joint probability distributions describing the states of multipartite spin systems in the probability representation. Probability distributions depending on extra parameters are discussed in the connection with problems of classical and quantum statistical mechanics, where these distributions can be considered in the context of non‐Kolmogorov probability theory.

Entangled Qubit States and Linear Entropy in the Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics

Vladimir N. Chernega, Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The superposition states of two qubits including entangled Bell states are considered in the probability representation of quantum mechanics. The superposition principle formulated in terms of the nonlinear addition rule of the state density matrices is formulated as a nonlinear addition rule of the probability distributions describing the qubit states. The generalization of the entanglement properties to the case of superposition of two-mode oscillator states is discussed using the probability representation of quantum states.

Set of Orthogonal Conditional Probability Distributions and Quantum Oscillator States

Margarita A. Man’ko

The notion of an infinite set of orthogonal conditional probability distributions describing quantum system states is introduced. The example of such orthogonal probability distributions is considered being associated with quantum oscillator states. The connection with separable and entangled probability distributions is discussed in the case of the probability distributions describing the oscillator energy states.
