What is a quantal reality?
Rafael Sorkin - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
I will rephrase the question, "What is a quantal reality?" as "What is a quantal history?" (the word history having here the same meaning as in the phrase sum-over-histories). The answer I will propose modifies the rules of logical inference in order to resolve a contradiction between the idea of… -
Operational structures as a foundation for probabilistic theories
Lucien Hardy - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Work on formulating general probabilistic theories in an operational context has tended to concentrate on the probabilistic aspects (convex cones and so on) while remaining relatively naive about how the operational structure is built up (combining operations to form composite systems, and so on)… -

Quantum analogues of Bayes' theorem, sufficient statistics and the pooling problem
Robert Spekkens - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
The notion of a conditional probability is critical for Bayesian reasoning. Bayes’ theorem, the engine of inference, concerns the inversion of conditional probabilities. Also critical are the concepts of conditional independence and sufficient statistics. The conditional density operator introduced… -
