Logical inference approach to relativistic quantum mechanics: derivation of the Klein-Gordon equation
arXiv:1604.07265 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2016.04.018
Abstract
The logical inference approach to quantum theory, proposed earlier [Ann. Phys. 347 (2014) 45-73], is considered in a relativistic setting. It is shown that the Klein-Gordon equation for a massive, charged, and spinless particle derives from the combination of the requirements that the space-time data collected by probing the particle is obtained from the most robust experiment and that on average, the classical relativistic equation of motion of a particle holds.
