Probability from chaos

Probability from chaos

Chaos is argued to lie at the origin of probability in nature. This is supported by several results: natural probabilistic processes are components of Markov processes; and Markov processes arise as projections of chaotic dynamics. We also discuss the quantum analogue of the latter. No quantum analo...

Zusammenfassung:Chaos is argued to lie at the origin of probability in nature. This is supported by several results: natural probabilistic processes are components of Markov processes; and Markov processes arise as projections of chaotic dynamics. We also discuss the quantum analogue of the latter. No quantum analogue of the former has yet been found. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004
