Quantum mechanics may be formulated as Sensible Quantum Mechanics (SQM) so that it contains nothing probabilistic except conscious perceptions. Sets of these perceptions can be deterministically realized with measures given by expectation values of positive-operator-valued awareness operators. Ratios of the measures for these sets of perceptions can be interpreted as frequency-type probabilitie...

Quantum mechanics may be formulated as Sensible Quantum Mechanics (SQM) so that it contains nothing probabilistic, except, in a certain frequency sense, conscious perceptions. Sets of these perceptions can be deterministi-cally realized with measures given by expectation values of positive-operator-valued awareness operators in a quantum state of the universe which never jumps or collapses. Rat...
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 کاملProbabilities in Statistical Mechanics: What are they?
This paper addresses the question of how we should regard the probability distributions introduced into statistical mechanics. It will be argued that it is problematic to take them either as purely ontic, or purely epistemic. I will propose a third alternative: they are almost objective probabilities, or epistemic chances. The definition of such probabilities involves an interweaving of epistem...
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...
