Abstract

Realistic quantum mechanics based on complex probability theory is shown to have a frequency interpretation, to coexist with Bell's theorem, to be linear, to include wavefunctions which are expansions in eigenfunctions of Hermitian operators and to describe both pure and mixed systems. Illustrative examples are given. The quantum version of Bayesian inference is discussed. Postscript version of hep-th/9307019.

    • Does it require the subjective probability to be complex-valued? (as in eg https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9307019.pdf, http://physics.bu.edu/~youssef/quantum/quantum_refs.html)
