Title: On the Categoricity of Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Iulian D. Toader
Abstract summary: The paper offers an argument against an intuitive reading of the Stone-von Neumann theorem as a categoricity result. It argues that, against what is usually taken to be the case, this theorem does not entail any model-theoretical difference between the theories that validate it and those that don't.

Another quantum version of Sanov theorem [53.64687146666141]
We study how to extend Sanov theorem to the quantum setting. We propose another quantum version of Sanov theorem by considering the quantum analog of the empirical distribution.

Machine Learning of the Prime Distribution [49.84018914962972]
We provide a theoretical argument explaining the experimental observations of Yang-Hui He about the learnability of primes. We also posit that the ErdHos-Kac law would very unlikely be discovered by current machine learning techniques.

Connecting classical finite exchangeability to quantum theory [69.62715388742298]
Exchangeability is a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. We show how a de Finetti-like representation theorem for finitely exchangeable sequences requires a mathematical representation which is formally equivalent to quantum theory.

A no-go theorem for absolute observed events without inequalities or modal logic [0.0]
This paper builds on no-go theorems to the effect that quantum theory is inconsistent with observations being absolute. The result illuminates a tension between special relativity and absoluteness.

Correspondence Between the Energy Equipartition Theorem in Classical Mechanics and its Phase-Space Formulation in Quantum Mechanics [62.997667081978825]
In quantum mechanics, the energy per degree of freedom is not equally distributed. We show that in the high-temperature regime, the classical result is recovered.

Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

Bell's theorem for trajectories [62.997667081978825]
A trajectory is not an outcome of a quantum measurement, in the sense that there is no observable associated with it. We show how to overcome this problem by considering a special case of our generic inequality that can be experimentally tested point-by-point in time.
