Probability Bracket Notation: the Unified Expressions of Conditional Expectation and Conditional Probability in Quantum Modeling

Abstract

After a brief introduction to Probability Bracket Notation (PBN), indicator operator and conditional density operator (CDO), we investigate probability spaces associated with various quantum systems: system with one observable (discrete or continuous), system with two commutative observables (independent or dependent) and a system of indistinguishable non-interacting many-particles. In each case, we derive unified expressions of conditional expectation (CE), conditional probability (CP), and absolute probability (AP): they have the same format for discrete or continuous spectrum; they are defined in both Hilbert space (using Dirac notation) and probability space (using PBN); and they may be useful to deal with CE of non-commutative observables.
