abstract

The additivity of classical probabilities is only the first in a hierarchy of possible sum-rules, each of which implies its successor. The first and most restrictive sum-rule of the hierarchy yields measure-theory in the Kolmogorov sense, which physically is appropriate for the description of stochastic processes such as Brownian motion. The next weaker sum-rule defines a {\it generalized measure theory} which includes quantum mechanics as a special case. The fact that quantum probabilities can be expressed ``as the squares of quantum amplitudes'' is thus derived in a natural manner, and a series of natural generalizations of the quantum formalism is delineated. Conversely, the mathematical sense in which classical physics is a special case of quantum physics is clarified. The present paper presents these relationships in the context of a ``realistic'' interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Causal measurement in quantum field theory: spacetime

hep-th · 2025-11-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A framework and explicit construction enables causal regularized measurements of spacetime-localized observables in bosonic QFT, with self-backreaction and induced future correlations.
