1 Conceptual analysis of quantum history theory

ABSTRACT. We give formal content to some concepts, naturally stemming from consistent history approach (CHA), which are not formalized in the standard formulation of the theory. The outcoming (extended) conceptual basis is used to perform a formal, conceptually transparent analysis of some debated questions in CHA. As results, the problems raised by contrary inferences of Kent are ruled out, whereas some prescriptions of the theory cannot be mantained. RESUMÉ. Nous fournissons contenu formel à quelques concepts, sortant naturellement de la théorie des histoires consistantes (CHA), qui ne sont pas formalizés dans la formulation usuel. La base conceptuelle (extendue) qui en sort est usée pour effectuer une analyse formel conceptuelment transparente de quelques problèmes débattus dans CHA. Nous avons comme resultat que le problèmes soulevés par les inferences contraires de Kent sont résolus; toutefois, des prescriptions de la théorie ne peuvent pas étre maintenues.

Conceptual Analysis of Quantum History Theory

Giuseppe Nisticò

We give formal content to some concepts, naturally stemming from consistent history approach (CHA), which are not formalized in the standard formulation of the theory. The outcoming (extended) conceptual basis is used to perform a formal, conceptually transparent analysis of some debated questions in CHA. As results, the problems raised by contrary inferences of Kent are ruled out, whereas some prescriptions of the theory cannot be mantained.
