Entropic Dynamics: an Inference Approach to Quantum Theory, Time and Measurement

Abstract

We review the derivation of quantum theory as an application of entropic methods of inference. The new contribution in this paper is a streamlined derivation of the Schrödinger equation based on a different choice of microstates and constraints.
