Contextual Measurement Model and Quantum Theory
arXiv:2312.13300 · doi:10.1098/rsos.231953
Abstract
We develop the contextual measurement model (CMM) which is used for clarification of the quantum foundations. This model matches with Bohr's views on the role of experimental contexts. CMM is based on contextual probability theory which is connected with generalized probability theory. CMM covers measurements in classical, quantum, and semi-classical physics. The CMM formalism is illustrated by a few examples. We consider CMM framing of classical probability, the von Neumann measurement theory, the quantum instrument theory. CMM can also be applied outside of physics, in cognition, decision making, and psychology, so called quantum-like modeling.
