The Inferential Design of Entropy and its Application to Quantum Measurements
Kevin Vanslette
This thesis synthesizes probability and entropic inference with Quantum Mechanics (QM) and quantum measurement [1-6]. It is shown that the standard and quantum relative entropies a…
A Multiple Observer Probability Analysis for Bell Scenarios in Special Relativity
Kevin Vanslette
Here we present a Multiple Observer Probability Analysis (MOPA) for the purpose of clarifying topics in experimental Bell scenarios. Because Bell scenarios are interested in quantu…
The Quantum Bayes Rule and Generalizations from the Quantum Maximum Entropy Method
Kevin Vanslette
The recent article "Entropic Updating of Probability and Density Matrices" [1] derives and demonstrates the inferential origins of both the standard and quantum relative entropies…
Entropic Updating of Probability and Density Matrices
Kevin Vanslette
We find that the standard relative entropy and the Umegaki entropy are designed for the purpose of inferentially updating probability and density matrices respectively. From the sa…
Entropic Dynamics: A hybrid-contextual theory of Quantum Mechanics
Kevin Vanslette
The Bell-KS theorem and the more recent -epistemic \emph{no-go} theorems of QM are discussed in the context of Entropic Dynamics. In doing so we find that the Bell-KS theorem al…
Quantum Measurement and Weak Values in Entropic Dynamics
Kevin Vanslette, Ariel Caticha
The problem of measurement in quantum mechanics is studied within the Entropic Dynamics framework. We discuss von Neumann and Weak measurements, wavefunction collapse, and Weak Val…
How Kirkwood and Probability Distributions Differ: A Coxian Perspective
Kevin Vanslette
Kolmogorov's first axiom of probability is probability takes values between 0 and 1; however, in Cox's derivation of probability having a maximum value of unity is arbitrary since…
