Quantum mechanics , Bayes ’ theorem and the conjunction fallacy
In the present article we show that the predictions of quantum mechanics lead to violations of Bayes' rule when considering the probability of the conjunction of two events. Quite interestingly, a similar effect of conjunction fallacy is well known and experimentally tested in cognitive science as a cognitive heuristic, which occurs for intuitive judgments in situations of bounded rationality. ...
متن کاملQuantum cryptography as a retrodiction problem.
We propose a quantum key distribution protocol based on a quantum retrodiction protocol, known as the Mean King problem. The protocol uses a two way quantum channel. We show security against coherent attacks in a transmission-error free scenario, even if Eve is allowed to attack both transmissions. This establishes a connection between retrodiction and key distribution.
متن کاملFrom retrodiction to Bayesian quantum imaging
We employ quantum retrodiction to develop a robust Bayesian algorithm for reconstructing the intensity values of an image from sparse photocount data, while also accounting for detector noise in the form of dark counts. This method yields not only a reconstructed image but also provides the full probability distribution function for the intensity at each pixel. We use simulated as well as real ...
متن کاملComment on “ Time asymmetry in quantum mechanics: a retrodiction paradox”
It is shown that the “retrodiction paradox” recently introduced by Peres [Phys. Lett. A 194 ( 1994) 211 arises not because of the fallacy of the time-symmetric approach as he claimed, but due to an inappropriate use of retrodiction. In a recent Letter [ 11 Peres claimed that our timesymmetric approach to quantum theory [2,3], in which retrodictions and predictions are on an equal footing, leads...
متن کاملBayes Theorem for Improper Priors
Improper priors are used frequently, but often formally and without reference to a sound theoretical basis. A consequence is the occurrence of seemingly paradoxical results. The most famous example is perhaps given by the marginalization paradoxes presented by Stone and Dawid (1972). It is demonstrated here that the seemingly paradoxical results are removed by a more careful formulation of the ...
