Quantum Probability Quantum Logic [Paperback]

This book compares various approaches to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in particular those which are related to the key words the Copenhagen interpretation , the antirealist view , quantum logic and hidden variable theory . Using the concept of correlation carefully analyzed in the context of classical probability and in quantum theory, the author provides a framework to compare these approaches. He also develops an extension of probability theory to construct a local hidden variable theory. The book should be of interest for physicists and philosophers of science interested in the foundations of quantum theory.Classical correlation polytopes and propositional logic.- Quantum correlations.- Quantum logic.- Hidden variables and Kolmogorovian models.- Philosophical remarks.Springer Book ArchivesDE
