Quantum Foundations in the Light of Quantum Information
Abstrak
This paper reports three almost trivial theorems that nevertheless appear to have significant import for quantum foundations studies. 1) A Gleason-like derivation of the quantum probability law, but based on the positive operator-valued measures as the basic notion of measurement (see also Busch, quant-ph/9909073). Of note, this theorem also works for 2-dimensional vector spaces and for vector spaces over the rational numbers, where the standard Gleason theorem fails. 2) A way of rewriting the quantum collapse rule so that it looks almost precisely identical to Bayes rule for updating probabilities in classical probability theory. And 3) a derivation of the tensor-product rule for combining quantum systems (and with it the very notion of quantum entanglement) from Gleason-like considerations for local measurements on bipartite systems along with classical communication.
