A generalized Clifford algebra is formulated in terms of a simple Euclidean carrier space. Using this space the eigenvalues, shifting operators, and the Casimir operator are easily derived for a few selected quantum mechanical problems.

Abstract: We review a rough scheme of quantum mechanics using the Clifford algebra. Following the steps previously published in a paper by another author [31], we demonstrate that quantum interference arises in a Clifford algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics. In 1932 J. von Neumann showed that projection operators and, in particular, quantum density matrices can be interpreted as logical statements. In accord with a previously obtained result by V. F Orlov, in this paper we invert von Neumann’s result. Instead of constructing logic from quantum mechanics, we construct quantum mechanics from an extended classical logic. It follows that the origins of the two most fundamental quantum phenomena, the indeterminism and the interference of probabilities, lie not in the traditional physics by itself but in the logical structure as realized here by the Clifford algebra.
