Decoherent Histories Quantum Mechanics Starting with Records of What Happens
arXiv:1608.04145
Abstract
We present a formulation of the decoherent (or consistent) histories quantum theory of closed systems starting with records of what histories happen. Alternative routes to a formulation of quantum theory like this one can be useful both for understanding quantum mechanics and for generalizing and extending it to new realms of application and experimental test.
