Quasi-Quantization: Classical Statistical Theories with an Epistemic Restriction
@article{Spekkens2016QuasiQuantizationCS, title={Quasi-Quantization: Classical Statistical Theories with an Epistemic Restriction}, author={Robert W. Spekkens}, journal={arXiv: Quantum Physics}, year={2016}, pages={83-135} }
A significant part of quantum theory can be obtained from a single innovation relative to classical theories, namely, that there is a fundamental restriction on the sorts of statistical distributions over physical states that can be prepared. This is termed an “epistemic restriction” because it implies a fundamental limit on the amount of knowledge that any observer can have about the physical state of a classical system. This article provides an overview of epistricted theories, that is…

There is a long history of representing a quantum state using a quasi-probability distribution: a distribution allowing negative values. In this paper we extend such representations to deal with…
Classical theories with entanglement

We investigate operational probabilistic theories where the pure states of every system are the vertices of a simplex. A special case of such theories is that of classical theories, i.e. simplicial…
“The Heisenberg Method”: Geometry, Algebra, and Probability in Quantum Theory
- Physics, PhilosophyEntropy

The article explores the implications of the Heisenberg method and of the QPA principle for quantum theory, and for the relationships between mathematics and physics there, from a nonrealist or, in terms of this article, “reality-without-realism” or RWR perspective, defining the RWR principle.
Classicality without local discriminability: Decoupling entanglement and complementarity
- Computer SciencePhysical Review A
- 2020
It is demonstrated that the presence of entanglement is independent of the existence of incompatible measurements, and on the basis of the fact that every separable state of the theory is a statistical mixture of entangled states, a no-go conjecture is formulated for theexistence of a local-realistic ontological model.

This thesis complete Spekkens' toy theory with measurement update rules and a mathematical framework that generalises it to systems of any finite dimensions (prime and non-prime) and extends the operational equivalence between the toy theory and stabilizer quantum mechanics to all odd dimensions via Gross' Wigner functions.

In order to better understand a complex theory like quantum mechanics, it is sometimes useful to take a step back and create alternative theories, with more intuitive foundations, and examine which…

How would the world appear to us if its ontology was that of classical mechanics but every agent faced a restriction on how much they could come to know about the classical state? We show that in…

Quantum theory can be viewed as a generalization of classical probability theory, but the analogy as it has been developed so far is not complete. Whereas the manner in which inferences are made in…

In the Bayesian approach to probability theory, probability quantifies a degree of belief for a single trial, without any a priori connection to limiting frequencies. In this paper, we show that,…

It is argued that the Born Rule should be seen as an empirical addition to Bayesian reasoning itself, and how to view it as a normative rule in addition to usual Dutch-book coherence is shown.
