Probabilities in the general boundary formulation
arXiv:hep-th/0612076 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/67/1/012049
Abstract
We give an introductory account of the general boundary formulation of quantum theory. We refine its probability interpretation and emphasize a conceptual and historical perspective. We give motivations from quantum gravity and illustrate them with a scenario for describing gravitons in quantum gravity.
