Logical entropy and negative probabilities in quantum mechanics

چکیده
The concept of Logical Entropy, S L = 1-? n i =1 p 2 , where the are normalized probabilities, was introduced by David Ellerman in a series recent papers. Although mathematical formula itself is not new, provided sound probabilistic interpretation as measure distinctions partition on given set. same comes across useful definition entropy quantum mechanics, it linked to notion purity state. quadratic form logical lends generalization probabilities that include negative values, an idea goes back Feynman and Wigner. Here, we analyze reinterpret light entropy. Several intriguing quantum-like properties derived discussed finite dimensional spaces. For infinite-dimensional spaces (continuum), show that, under sole hypothesis total probability preserved time, one obtains evolution equation for density basically identical Wigner function phase space, at least when considers only momentum variable. This result suggest plays profound role establishing peculiar rules physics.

Negative Entropy and Information in Quantum Mechanics
A framework for a quantum mechanical information theory is introduced that is based entirely on density operators, and gives rise to a unified description of classical correlation and quantum entanglement. Unlike in classical (Shannon) information theory, quantum (von Neumann) conditional entropies can be negative when considering quantum entangled systems, a fact related to quantum nonseparabi...
متن کاملImprecise Probabilities in Quantum Mechanics
In his entry on “Quantum Logic and Probability Theory” in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Alexander Wilce (2012) writes that “it is uncontroversial (though remarkable) that the formal apparatus of quantum mechanics reduces neatly to a generalization of classical probability in which the role played by a Boolean algebra of events in the latter is taken over by the ‘quantum logic’ of pro...

متن کاملInterpreting Probabilities in Quantum Field Theoryand Quantum Statistical Mechanics
In ordinary nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (QM), the observables pertaining to a system typically form the self-adjoint part of the algebra B(H) of bounded operators acting on a Hilbert space H.1 B(H) is an algebra of the genus von Neumann and the species Type I factor.2 Here we consider quantum systems whose observable-algebras belong to the same genus, but correspond to more exotic species...
متن کاملQuantum Cognition, Neural Oscillators, and Negative Probabilities
This review paper has three main goals. First, to discuss a contextual neurophysiologically plausible model of neural oscillators that reproduces some of the features of quantum cognition. Second, to show that such model predicts contextual situations where quantum cognition is inadequate. Third, to present an extended probability theory that that not only can describe situations that are beyon...
