Probabilities from entanglement, Born's rule p{sub k}= vertical bar {psi}{sub k} vertical bar{sup 2} from envariance

Journal Article Zurek, Wojciech Hubert - Physical Review. A

I show how probabilities arise in quantum physics by exploring the implications of environment-assisted invariance or envariance, a recently discovered symmetry exhibited by entangled quantum systems. Envariance of perfectly entangled 'Bell-like' states can be used to rigorously justify complete ignorance of the observer about the outcome of any measurement on either of the members of the entangled pair. For more general states, envariance leads to Born's rule p{sub k}{proportional_to} vertical bar {psi}{sub k} vertical bar{sup 2} for the outcomes associated with Schmidt states. The probabilities derived in this manner are an objective reflection of the underlying state of the system--theymore »« less

Quantum probabilities from quantum entanglement: experimentally unpacking the Born rule

Journal Article Harris, Jérémie ; Bouchard, Frédéric ; Santamato, Enrico ; ... - New Journal of Physics

The Born rule, a foundational axiom used to deduce probabilities of events from wavefunctions, is indispensable in the everyday practice of quantum physics. It is also key in the quest to reconcile the ostensibly inconsistent laws of the quantum and classical realms, as it confers physical significance to reduced density matrices, the essential tools of decoherence theory. Following Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation, textbooks postulate the Born rule outright. But, recent attempts to derive it from other quantum principles have been successful, holding promise for simplifying and clarifying the quantum foundational bedrock. Moreover, a major family of derivations is based on envariance,more »« less

A derivation of Born’s rule from symmetry

Journal Article Hossenfelder, Sabine - Annals of Physics

Highlights: • A very simple proof for the rule by which we calculate probabilities in quantum mechanics. We here put forward a simple argument for Born’s rule based on the requirement that transition probabilities in quantum mechanics should not be a function of the number of degrees of freedom in the system, or the dimension of the Hilbert-space, respectively. The argument presented here can be interpreted as deriving Born’s rule from a symmetry requirement.

Feynman rules for probability amplitudes

Journal Article Tikochinsky, Y - Int. J. Theor. Phys.; (United States)

Starting with very simple assumptions, Feynman rules for the quantum mechanical amplitudes and the associated probabilities are derived. These rules emerge as the only consistent rules for manipulating complex amplitudes assigned to processes. The probability of a process to which an amplitude x has been assigned is determined as p(x) = absolute value x/sup ..cap alpha../, 0 < ..cap alpha.. less than or equal to 2. If virtual processes are allowed, ..cap alpha.. = 2.

Entanglement and symmetry: A case study in superselection rules, reference frames, and beyond

Journal Article Jones, S J ; Wiseman, H M ; Vaccaro, J A ; ... - Physical Review. A

In recent years it has become apparent that constraints on possible quantum operations, such as those constraints imposed by superselection rules (SSRs), have a profound effect on quantum information theoretic concepts like bipartite entanglement. This paper concentrates on a particular example: the constraint that applies when the parties (Alice and Bob) cannot distinguish among certain quantum objects they have. This arises naturally in the context of ensemble quantum information processing such as in liquid NMR. We discuss how a SSR for the symmetric group can be applied, and show how the extractable entanglement can be calculated analytically in certain cases,more »« less
