• Abstract: Dynamic equations concerning physical expectation values have been examined in terms of the real Hilbert space approach to quantum mechanics. The considered cases involve complex wave functions, as well as quaternionic wave functions. The consistency of the formalism has been verified in terms of the continuity equation, the classical limit, and generalizations of the quantum Lorentz force, and the Virial theorem. Besides testing the consistency of the real Hilbert space approach, generalized position and angular momentum operators have been introduced, and inspire exciting directions for further research.

• Qubit from the classical collision entropy [0.0]
  An orthodox formulation of quantum mechanics relies on a set of postulates in Hilbert space supplemented with rules to connect it with classical mechanics. Here we deduce a qubit and its dynamics straightforwardly from a discrete deterministic dynamics and conservation of the classical collision entropy.

• Reformulation of Quantum Theory [0.0]
  The standard quantum mechanics over a complex Hilbert space, is a Hamiltonian mechanics, regarding the Hilbert space as a linear real manifold equipped with its canonical symplectic form and restricting only to the expectation-value functions of Hermitian operators. We reformulate the structure of quantum mechanics in the language of symplectic manifold and avoid linear structure of Hilbert space in such a way that the results can be stated for an arbitrary symplectic manifold.
