Elements of the Mathematical Formulation of Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we will explore some of the basic elements of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. In the first section, I will list the motivations for introducing a probability model that is quite different from that of the classical probability theory, but still shares quite a few significant commonalities. Later in the paper, I will discuss the quantum probability theory in detail, while paying a brief attention to some of the axioms (by Birkhoff and von Neumann) that illustrate both the commonalities and differences between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. This paper will end with a presentation of two theorems that form the core of quantum mechanics.

Bohm's Ontological Interpretation and its Relations to Three Formulations of Quantum Mechanics
The standard mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics is specified. Bohm s ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics is then shown to be incapable of providing a suitable interpretation of that formulation. It is also shown that Bohm’s interpretation may well be viable for two alternative mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics, meaning that the negative result is a significan...
متن کاملElements of information-theoretic derivation of the formalism of quantum theory
Information-theoretic derivations of the formalism of quantum theory have recently attracted much attention. We analyze the axioms underlying a few such derivations and propose a conceptual framework in which, by combining several approaches, one can retrieve more of the conventional quantum formalism.
متن کاملA Fourth Order Formulation of DDM for Crack Analysis in Brittle Solids
A fourth order formulation of the displacement discontinuity method (DDM) is proposed for the crack analysis of brittle solids such as rocks, glasses, concretes and ceramics. A fourth order boundary collocation scheme is used for the discretization of each boundary element (the source element). In this approach, the source boundary element is divided into five sub-elements each recognized by a ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics and the Mechanism of Sexual Reproduction
There are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. The mechanism of the meiosis, mitosis and gametes life cycle from the view-point of quantum for human has been represented. The quantum gates have been used to simulate these processes for the first time. The reason of several hundred sperms has been explained in the male too
متن کاملSimulation of Quantum Algorithms with a Symbolic Programming Language
This study examines the simulation of quantum algorithms on a classical computer. The program code implemented on a classical computer will be a straight connection between the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics and computational methods. The computational language will include formulations such as quantum state, superposition and quantum operator.
