Learning using the Born Rule
In Quantum Mechanics the transition from a deterministic description to a probabilistic one is done using a simple rule termed the Born rule. This rule states that the probability of an outcome (a) given a state (Ψ) is the square of their inner products ((a>Ψ)2). In this paper, we unravel a new probabilistic justification for popular algebraic algorithms, based on the Born rule. These algorithm...
متن کاملEverett and the Born Rule
During the last ten years or so, derivations of the Born rule based on decision theory have been proposed and developed, and it is claimed that these are valid in the context of the Everett interpretation. This claim is critically assessed and it is shown that one of its key assumptions is a natural consequence of the principles underlying the Copenhagen interpretation, but constitutes a major ...
متن کاملGudder's Theorem and the Born Rule
We derive the Born probability rule from Gudder’s theorem—a theorem that addresses orthogonally-additive functions. These functions are shown to be tightly connected to the functions that enter the definition of a signed measure. By imposing some additional requirements besides orthogonal additivity, the addressed functions are proved to be linear, so they can be given in terms of an inner prod...
متن کاملThe Born rule and its interpretation
The Born rule provides a link between the mathematical formalism of quantum theory and experiment, and as such is almost single-handedly responsible for practically all predictions of quantum physics. In the history of science, on a par with the Heisenberg uncertainty relations (→ indeterminacy relations) the Born rule is often seen as a turning point where indeterminism entered fundamental phy...
متن کاملA Continuous Updating Rule for Imprecise Probabilities
The paper studies the continuity of rules for updating imprecise probability models when new data are observed. Discontinuities can lead to robustness issues: this is the case for the usual updating rules of the theory of imprecise probabilities. An alternative, continuous updating rule is introduced.
