On Classical, Fuzzy Classical, Quantum and Fuzzy Quantum Systems.

Abstract

In this paper we consider physical systems and the concept of their states in the context of the theory of fuzzy sets and systems. In section 1 we give a brief sketch on the fundamental difference between the theories of classical physics and quantum mechanics. In section 2 and 3 we introduce very shortly systems and their states in classical and quantum mechanics, respectively. Section 4 presents the concept of fuzzy systems. We propose to fuzzify the classical systems in section 5 and quantum systems in section 6. In section 7 we start to consider a fuzzy interpretation of the uncertainty principle.

Can Fuzzy Sets Be Useful in the (Re) Interpretation of Uncertainty in Quantum Mechanics?

Rudolf Seising

New scientific theories have been and will always be required for the progress of science. Two examples of new theories that were advanced in the 20th century are quantum mechanics and fuzzy set theory. Both deal with the concept of uncertainty and both use mathematical tools that are essentially different from those used in classical probability theory. In both, the introduction of new concepts (theoretical terms) was necessary because phenomena and processes observed in the real world could not be explained with existing mathematical concepts. This paper examines the possibilities of (re)interpreting uncertainty in quantum mechanics with the aid of fuzzy sets and systems

From principles of mechanics to quantum mechanics - a survey on fuzziness in scientific theories

Rudolf Seising

In this paper we discuss the principles of two fundamental theories of physics: mechanics and quantum mechanics. First, we consider two philosophical positions of the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. He established one of the both in the introduction of his well known Principles of Mechanics. This view - Hertz's "picture" concept - which has a long tradition in philosophy, particularly with regard to physics and later to other empirical sciences, serves as the starting point of an interpretation of the relationship between real systems and theoretical structures of modern science using the concept of fuzziness. This "fuzzy view" on philosophy of science gives particularly an interpretation of Hertz's earlier lecture on The Constitution of matter. Second we consider some principles of quantum mechanics, particularly Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty relation of subatomic object's position and momentum, and Max Born's probabilistic interpretation of the quantum mechanical wave function. These principles are parts of the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Third, we argue that the "fuzzy approach" is fruitful for a "fuzzy" interpretation of quantum mechanics because fuzziness fills the gap between systems and phenomena in reality and the scientific theory of quantum mechanics - as every other scientific theory.

From Classical to Quantum Theory of Open Systems

Yu. L. Klimontovich

The paper consists of a short survey of some results concerning the physical interpretation the basic equations for quantum open systems. The concept of a continuous medium for quantum systems is introduced. From this point of view the question of completeness description and the hidden parameters (scales) for quantum open systems is considered. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle in the physics of open quantum systems is represented. The question: Is the concept of "pure ensemble" justified in quantum mechanics is also discussed.

A physical example of quantum fuzzy sets, and the classical limit.

Diederik Aerts, Thomas Durt, Bruno Van Bogaert

We present an explicit physical example of an experimental situation on a physical entity that gives rise to a fuzzy set. The fuzziness in the example is due to ∞uctuations of the experimental apparatus, and not to an indeterminacy about the states of the physical entity, and is described by a varying parameter †. For zero value of the parameter (no ∞uctuations), the example reduces to a classical mechanics situation, and the corresponding fuzzy set is a quasi-crisp set. For maximal value (maximal ∞uctuations), the example gives rise to a quantum fuzzy set, more precisely a spin- model. In between, we have a continuum of fuzzy situations, neither classical, nor quantum. We believe that the example can make us understand the nature of the quantum mechanical fuzziness and probability, and how these are related to the classical situation.

Quantum Mechanics vs. Classical Physics

Will Raven

Abstract In this chapter, we explore the differences between quantum mechanics and classical physics, focusing on three main ideas: compatible and incompatible observables, states of an observable, and the superposition of states. By examining these concepts, you will gain insight into how measurements impact quantum mechanical systems and the ideas behind the uncertainty principle.
