• Title: A Short Report on the Probability-Based Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
• Authors: Paolo Rocchi,
• Abstract summary: Popper notices how fundamental issues raised in quantum mechanics (QM) directly derive from unresolved probabilistic questions. This paper offers a brief overview of the structural theory of probability, recently published in a book, and applies it to QM in order to show its completeness. The whole probability-based interpretation of QM goes beyond the limits of a paper and these pages condense a few aspects of this theoretical scheme.

• Abstract: This paper calls attention to the current state of the probability (P) domain which presents weak points at the mathematical level and more significant flaws at the application level. Popper notices how fundamental issues raised in quantum mechanics (QM) directly derive from unresolved probabilistic questions. Endless philosophical debates create more problems than solutions, so the author of this research suggests going directly to the root of the issues and searching for the probability theory which formalizes the multifold nature of P. This paper offers a brief overview of the structural theory of probability, recently published in a book, and applies it to QM in order to show its completeness. The whole probability-based interpretation of QM goes beyond the limits of a paper and these pages condense a few aspects of this theoretical scheme. The double slit experiment is used to corroborate the theorems presented here.

• Generalized Quantum Stein's Lemma and Second Law of Quantum Resource Theories [47.02222405817297]
  A fundamental question in quantum information theory is whether an analogous second law can be formulated to characterize the convertibility of resources for quantum information processing by a single function. In 2008, a promising formulation was proposed, linking resource convertibility to the optimal performance of a variant of the quantum version of hypothesis testing. In 2023, a logical gap was found in the original proof of this lemma, casting doubt on the possibility of such a formulation of the second law.

  The Prisoner's Dilemma game (PDG) is one of the simple test-beds for the probabilistic nature of the human decision-making process. Quantum probabilistic models can explain this violation as a second-order interference effect. We discuss the role of other quantum information-theoretical quantities, such as quantum entanglement, in the decision-making process.

  We study learnability of quantum circuit Born machines (QCBMs) and quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) We first analyze the generalization ability of QCBMs and identify their superiorities when the quantum devices can directly access the target distribution. Next, we prove how the generalization error bound of QGANs depends on the employed Ansatz, the number of qudits, and input states.

  I motivate the Q-based interpretation, investigate whether it is empirically adequate, and outline some of its key conceptual features. I argue that the Q-based interpretation is attractive in that it promises having no measurement problem, is conceptually parsimonious and has the potential to apply elegantly to relativistic and field-theoretic contexts.

  Wang and Busemeyer invented a quantum model and approach as well as non-parametric equality (so-called QQ-equality) This note is to test the possibility to expand the Wang-Busemeyer model by considering questions which are mathematically represented by positive operator valued measures. But, we also showed that, in principle, it is possible to reduce expanded model to the original Wang-Busemeyer model by expanding the context of the questions.
