On distinguishability, orthogonality, and violations of the second law: contradictory assumptions, contrasting pieces of knowledge
P. G. L. Mana, A. Maansson, G. Bjoerk
Two statements by von Neumann and a thought-experiment by Peres prompts a discussion on the notions of one-shot distinguishability, orthogonality, semi-permeable diaphragm, and the…
Probability tables
P. G. L. Mana
The idea of writing a table of probabilistic data for a quantum or classical system, and of decomposing this table in a compact way, leads to a shortcut for Hardy's formalism, and…
Why can states and measurement outcomes be represented as vectors?
Piero G. L. Mana
It is shown how, given a "probability data table" for a quantum or classical system, the representation of states and measurement outcomes as vectors in a real vector space follows…
Consistency of the Shannon entropy in quantum experiments
P. G. L. Mana
The consistency of the Shannon entropy, when applied to outcomes of quantum experiments, is analysed. It is shown that the Shannon entropy is fully consistent and its properties ar…
