Decoherent Histories Quantum Mechanics and Copenhagen Quantum Mechanics
Murray Gell-Mann, James B Hartle
This paper discusses the relation between the decoherent histories approach to quantum mechanics that is based on coarse-grained decoherent histories of a closed system, and the ap…
A Measure of Classicality
James B. Hartle, Murray Gell-Mann
A striking feature of our fundamentally indeterministic quantum universe is its quasiclassical realm -- the wide range of time place and scale in which the deterministic laws of cl…
Alternative Decohering Histories in Quantum Mechanics
Murray Gell-Mann, James Hartle
We continue our efforts to understand, within the framework of the quantum mechanics of the universe as a whole, the quasiclassical realm of familiar experience as a feature emerge…
Quantum Mechanics in the Light of Quantum Cosmology
Murray Gell-Mann, James B. Hartle
We sketch a quantum mechanical framework for the universe as a whole. Within that framework we propose a program for describing the ultimate origin in quantum cosmology of the quas…
Incidence of -statistics in rank distributions
G. Cigdem Yalcin, Alberto Robledo, Murray Gell-Mann
We show that size-rank distributions with power-law decay (often only over a limited extent) observed in a vast number of instances in a widespread family of systems obey Tsallis s…
Evaluating gambles using dynamics
Ole Peters, Murray Gell-Mann
Gambles are random variables that model possible changes in monetary wealth. Classic decision theory transforms money into utility through a utility function and defines the value…
