Quantum Measurement and Weak Values in Entropic Dynamics

Abstract

The problem of measurement in quantum mechanics is studied within the Entropic Dynamics framework. We discuss von Neumann and Weak measurements, wavefunction collapse, and Weak Values as examples of bayesian and entropic inference.

Presented at MaxEnt 2016, the 36th International Workshop on Bayesian Inference and Maximum Entropy Methods in Science and Engineering (July 10-15, 2016, Ghent, Belgium)
