Elements of information-theoretic derivation of the formalism of quantum theory
arXiv:quant-ph/0306079
Abstract
Information-theoretic derivations of the formalism of quantum theory have recently attracted much attention. We analyze the axioms underlying a few such derivations and propose a conceptual framework in which, by combining several approaches, one can retrieve more of the conventional quantum formalism.
