Stochastic Unrelatedness, Couplings, and Contextuality
R. Duncan Luce once mentioned in a conversation that he did not consider Kolmogorov’s probability theory well-constructed because it treats stochastic independence as a “numerical accident,” while it should be treated as a fundamental relation, more basic than the assignment of numerical probabilities. I argue here that stochastic independence is indeed a “numerical accident,” a special form of...
متن کاملStochastic Relational Presheaves and Dynamic Logic for Contextuality
Presheaf models [7, 27, etc.] provide a formulation of labelled transition systems that is useful for, among other things, modelling concurrent computation. This paper aims to extend such models further to represent stochastic dynamics such as shown in quantum systems. After reviewing what presheaf models represent and what certain operations on them mean in terms of notions such as internal an...
متن کاملUnrelatedness of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus subtilis.
Eight strains of highly amylolytic, sporeforming bacilli (hereafter referred to as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) were compared with respect to their taxonomic relationship to B. subtilis. The physiological-biochemical properties of these two groups of organisms showed that B. amyloliquefaciens differed from B. subtilis by their ability to grow in 10% NaCl, characteristic growth on potato plugs, i...
متن کاملContextuality, Cohomology and Paradox
Contextuality is a key feature of quantum mechanics that provides an important nonclassical resource for quantum information and computation. Abramsky and Brandenburger used sheaf theory to give a general treatment of contextuality in quantum theory [New Journal of Physics 13 (2011) 113036]. However, contextual phenomena are found in other fields as well, for example database theory. In this pa...
متن کاملDecoherence and quantum contextuality
Decoherence is the most widely accepted mechanism to explain the loss of coherence in quantum systems. Here we show how simple (quantum) trajectory–based models can help to understand the physics behind decoherence processes. In particular, we will analyze with these models the relationship between decoherence and quantum contextuality in the double–slit experiment, where two (quantum) contexts...
