“In Mathematical Language”: On Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Foundations [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
The argument of this article is threefold. First, the article argues that from its rise in the sixteenth century to our own time, the advancement of modern physics as mathematical-experimental science has been defined by the invention of new mathematical

Quantum Retrodiction: Foundations and Controversies [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
Prediction is the making of statements, usually probabilistic, about future events based on current information. Retrodiction is the making of statements about past events based on current information. We present the foundations of quantum retrodiction and highlight its intimate connection with the Bayesian interpretation of probability. The close link

Quantum Foundations of Classical Reversible Computing [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
The reversible computation paradigm aims to provide a new foundation for general classical digital computing that is capable of circumventing the thermodynamic limits to the energy efficiency of the conventional, non-reversible digital paradigm. However,

Testing quantum foundations with quantum computers

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
We present two complementary viewpoints for combining quantum computers and the foundations of quantum mechanics. On the one hand, ideal devices can be used as test beds for experimental tests of the foundations of quantum mechanics: We provide ...

The quantum foundations of utility and value. [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2023
This work presents a generalization of game theory and new perspectives on utility and value. Using quantum formalism, we prove that classical game theory is a special case of quantum game theory. We show that the von Neumann entropy and von Neumann–Morgenstern utility are equivalent and that the Hamiltonian operator represents value.

Quantum Information and Foundations [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The new era of quantum foundations, fed by the quantum information theory experience and opened in the early 2000s by a series of memorable papers [...]

Foundations of the Quaternion Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
We show that quaternion quantum mechanics has well-founded mathematical roots and can be derived from the model of the elastic continuum by French mathematician Augustin Cauchy, i.e., it can be regarded as representing the physical reality of elastic ...

The Expectation Monad in Quantum Foundations [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2012
The expectation monad is introduced abstractly via two composable adjunctions, but concretely captures measures. It turns out to sit in between known monads: on the one hand the distribution and ultrafilter monad, and on the other hand the continuation ...
