Abstract

We discuss the relationship between logic, geometry and probability theory under the light of a novel approach to quantum probabilities which generalizes the method developed by R. T. Cox to the quantum logical approach to physical theories.

On the Connection Between Quantum Probability and Geometry

Federico Holik

We discuss the mathematical structures that underlie quantum probabilities. More specifically, we explore possible connections between logic, geometry and probability theory. We propose an interpretation that generalizes the method developed by R. T. Cox to the quantum logical approach to physical theories. We stress the relevance of developing a geometrical interpretation of quantum mechanics. Quanta 2021; 10: 1–14.

Foundations of a quantum probability theory

M. D. Srinivas

Statistical physical theories are frequently formulated in terms of probabilistic structures founded on a ’’logic of experimentally verifiable propositions.’’ It is argued that to each experimentally verifiable proposition there corresponds an experimental procedure which, in general, alters the state of the system, and is completely characterized by a ’’measurement transformation’’ or ’’operation.’’ An analysis of the relations among these experimental procedures leads us to a ’’logic of operations’’ which is quite different from the ’’lattice theoretic logics’’ that are often considered (albeit inadequate empirical justification), as models for the calculus of experimentally verifiable propositions of quantum theory. It is seen that the quantum probability theory based on the logic of operations provides the proper mathematical framework for discussing the statistics of successive observations in quantum theory. We also indicate how a theory of quantum stochastic processes can be formulated in a way similar to the Kolmogorov formulation of the classical theory.

Classical and quantum probability

R. F. Streater

We follow the development of probability theory from the beginning of the last century, emphasizing that quantum theory is really a generalization of this theory. The great achievements of probability theory, such as the theory of processes, generalized random fields, estimation theory, and information geometry, are reviewed. Their quantum versions are then described.

XIX INTERNATIONAL FALL WORKSHOP ON GEOMETRY AND PHYSICS

Carlos Herdeiro, Roger Picken

I review how geometry enters probability theory, and how it enters quantum mechanics. The logic is similar in both cases, but the latter case is richer and more interesting.

A discussion on the origin of quantum probabilities

Federico Holik, Angelo Plastino, Manuel Sáenz

We study the origin of quantum probabilities as arising from non-boolean propositional-operational structures. We apply the method developed by Cox to non distributive lattices and develop an alternative formulation of non-Kolmogorvian probability measures for quantum mechanics. By generalizing the method presented in previous works, we outline a general framework for the deduction of probabilities in general propositional structures represented by lattices (including the non-distributive case).
