Entropic Dynamics, Time and Quantum Theory
Speaker(s): Ariel Caticha
Abstract: Non-relativistic quantum mechanics is derived as an example of entropic inference. The basic assumption is that the position of a particle is subject to an irreducible uncertainty of unspecified origin. The corresponding probability distributions constitute a curved statistical manifold. The probabi... read more

Quantum Theory from Entropic Inference
Speaker(s): Ariel Caticha
Abstract: Non-relativistic quantum theory is derived from information codified into an appropriate statistical model. The basic assumption is that there is an irreducible uncertainty in the location of particles so that the configuration space is a statistical manifold with a natural information metric. The d... read more
