Quantum probability - quantum logic (Q1187636)

This volume, that is intended as a research monograph on the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics, shows new ways of investigation of quantum mechanical problems. At its center is the concept of correlation as it appears in probability theory and quantum physics. It is closely related to and characterizes the possible range of values of quantum correlations, Bell-type inequalities in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment, and classical and quantum propositional logic, mentioning only some of the notably questions. The subject has applications in studying problems outside of physics, too. The book includes a detailed construction of local hidden variable theories, based on an extension of classical probability.
