- Abstract: In this paper, a modified formulation of generalized probabilistic theories
that will always give rise to the structure of Hilbert space of quantum
mechanics, in any finite outcome space, is presented and the guidelines to how
to extend this work to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces are given. Moreover,
this new formulation which will be called as extended operational probabilistic
theories, applies not only to quantum systems, but also equally well to
classical systems, without violating Bell's theorem, and at the same time
solves the measurement problem. A new answer to the question of why our
universe is quantum mechanical rather than classical will be presented.
Besides, this extended probability theory shows that it is non determinacy, or
to be more precise, the non deterministic description of the universe, that
makes the laws of physics the way they are. In addition, this paper shows that
there is still a possibility that there might be a deterministic level from
which our universe emerges, which if understood correctly, may open the door
wide to applications in areas such as quantum computing. In addition, this
paper explains the deep reason why complex Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics
are needed.

In quantum gravity theory, a state-dependent gravitational potential introduces nonlinearity into the state evolution.
The formalism for understanding the continuous quantum measurement process on the quantum state has been previously discussed using the Schr"odinger picture.
In this work, an equivalent formalism using the Heisenberg picture is developed and applied to the analysis of two optomechanical experiment protocols.

This paper aims to pass all quantum probability formulas to the projective space associated to the complex Hilbert space of a given quantum system.
The upshot is that quantum theory is the probability theory of projective subspaces, or equivalently, of quantum events.
