On Markovian behaviour of $p$-adic random dynamical systems

We study Markovian and non-Markovian behaviour of stochastic processes generated by $p$-adic random dynamical systems. Given a family of $p$-adic monomial random mappings generating a random dynamical system. Under which conditions do the orbits under such a random dynamical system form Markov chains? It is necessary that the mappings are Markov dependent. We show, however, that this is in general not sufficient. In fact, in many cases we have to require that the mappings are independent. Moreover we investigate some geometric and algebraic properties for $p-$adic monomial mappings as well as for the $p-$adic power function which are essential to the formation of attractors. $p$-adic random dynamical systems can be useful in so called $p$-adic quantum phytsics as well as in some cognitive models.

Interference as a statistical consequence of conjecture on time quant

We analyze statistical consequences of a conjecture that there exists a fundamental (indivisible) quant of time. We study particle dynamics with discrete time. We show that a quantum-like interference pattern could appear as a statistical effect for deterministic particles, i.e. particles that have trajectories and obey deterministic dynamical equations, if one introduces a discrete time. As a demonstration of this concept we consider particle scattering on a screen with a slit. We study how resulting interference picture depends on the parameters of the model. The resulting interference picture has a nontrivial minimum-maximum distribution which vanishes, as the time discreteness parameter goes to zero. This picture is qualitatively the same as one obtained in quantum experiments. The picture includes some interesting nonclassical properties such as a 'black' region behind the center of the slit.

Växjö interpretation-2003: realism of contexts

We present a new variant of the Växjö interpretation: contextualistic statistical realistic. Basic ideas of the Växjö interpretation-2001 are essentially clarified. We also discuss applications to biology, psychology, sociology, economy,...

Testing the Fair Sampling Assumption for EPR-Bell Experiments with Polarizer Beamsplitters

In spite of many attempts, no local realistic model seems to be able to reproduce EPR-Bell type correlations, unless non ideal detection is allowed. The low efficiency of detectors in all experiments with photons makes the use of the fair sampling assumption unavoidable. However, since this very assumption is false in all existing local realistic models based on inefficient detection, we thus question its validity. We show that it is no more reasonable to assume fair sampling than it is impossible to test, and we actually propose an experimental test which would provides clear cut results in case of unfair sampling.

How can one find nonlocality in Bohmian mechanics?

We perform the probabilistic analysis of the pilot wave formalism. From the probabilistic point of view it is not so natural to follow D. Bohm and to consider nonlocal interactions between parts of (e.g.) a two-particle system. It is more natural to consider dependence of corresponding preparation procedures and the propagation of the initial correlations between preparation procedures. In the pilot wave formalism it is more natural to speak about correlations of the initial pilot waves which propagate with time.

Contextualist viewpoint to Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger paradox

We present probabilistic analysis of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) scheme in the contextualist framework, namely under the assumption that distributions of hidden variables depend on settings of measurement devices. On one hand, we found classes of probability distributions of hidden variables for that the GHZ scheme does not imply a contradiction between the local realism and quantum formalism. On the other hand, we found classes of probability distributions of hidden variables for that the GHZ scheme still induce such a contradiction (despite variations of distributions). It is also demonstrated that (well known in probability theory) singularity/absolute continuity dichotomy for probability distributions is closely related to the GHZ paradox. Our conjecture is that this GHZ-coupling between singularity/absolute continuity dichotomy and incompatible/compatible measurements might be a general feature of quantum theory.

No "No-Go"

In spite of the very common opinion we show that QM is not complete and that it is possible to create prequantum models providing finer description of physical reality than QM. There exists (at least in theoretical models) dispersion free states and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be violated. Thus in spite of all ``No-Go'' theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell) we found a realist basis of quantum mechanics. I think that our model would totally satisfy A. Einstein who was sure that QM is not complete and a finer description is possible.

Växjö Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

We present critical arguments against individual interpretation of Bohr's complementarity and Heisenberg's uncertainty principles. Statistical interpretation of these principles is discussed in the contextual framework. We support the possibility to use Statistical Contextual Realist Interpretation of quantum formalism. In spite of all {\bf no-go} theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell,...), recently (quant-ph/0306003 and 0306069) we constructed a realist basis of quantum mechanics. In our model both classical and quantum spaces are rough images of the fundamental {\bf prespace.} Quantum mechanics cannot be reduced to classical one. Both classical and quantum representations induce reductions of prespace information.

A Preliminar Evidence of Quantum Like Behavior in Measurements of Mental States

Experimental results presented in this paper supports the hypothesis on quantum-like statistical behaviour of cognitive systems (at least human beings). Our quantum-like approach gives the possibility to represent mental states by Hilbert space vectors (complex amplitudes). Such a representation induces huge reduction of information about a mental state. We realize an approach that has no direct relation with reductionist quantum models and we are not interested in statistical behavior of micro systems forming the macro system of the brain. We describe only probabilistic features of cognitive measurements. Our quantum-like approach describes statistics of measurements of cognitive systems with the aim to ascertain if cognitive systems behave as quantum-like systems where here quantum-like cognitive behavior means that cognitive systems result to be very sensitive to changes of the context with regard to the complex of the mental conditions.

Classical and quantum spaces as rough images of the fundamental prespace

In spite of all {\bf no-go} theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell,...) we constructed a realist basis of quantum mechanics. In our model both classical and quantum spaces b are rough images of the fundamental {\bf prespace.} Quantum mechanics cannot be reduced to classical one. Both classical and quantum representations induce reductions of prespace information.

Contextual approach to quantum mechanics and the theory of the fundamental prespace

We constructed a Hilbert space representation of a contextual Kolmogorov model. This representation is based on two fundamental observables -- in the standard quantum model these are position and momentum observables. This representation has all distinguishing features of the quantum model. Thus in spite all ``No-Go'' theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell) we found the realist basis for quantum mechanics. Our representation is not standard model with hidden variables. In particular, this is not a reduction of quantum model to the classical one. Moreover, we see that such a reduction is even in principle impossible. This impossibility is not a consequence of a mathematical theorem but it follows from the physical structure of the model. By our model quantum states are very rough images of domains in the space of fundamental parameters - PRESPACE. Those domains represent complexes of physical conditions. By our model both classical and quantum physics describe REDUCTION of PRESPACE-INFORMATION. Quantum mechanics is not complete. In particular, there are prespace contexts which can be represented only by a so called hyperbolic quantum model. We predict violations of the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and existence of dispersion free states.

On relations between probabilities under quantum and classical measurements

We show that the so-called quantum probabilistic rule, usually presented in the physical literature as an argument of the essential distinction between the probability relations under quantum and classical measurements, is not, as it is usually considered, in contrast to the rule for the addition of probabilities of incompatible events. The latter is, of course, valid under all measurement situations upon classical and quantum objects. We discuss also quantum measurement situation, which is similar to the classical one, corresponding to classical Bayes' formula for conditional probabilities. We show the compatibility of description of this quantum measurement situation in the frame of purely classical and experimentally justified straight ward frequency arguments [Khrennikov (1999, 2000, 2001)] and in the frame of the quantum stochastic approach to the description of generalized quantum measurements (Loubenets (2000); Barndorff-Nielsen and Loubenets (2001)]. In view of derived results, we argue that even in the classical probability the classical Bayes' formula describes a particular case of the considered measurement situation, which is specific for context-independent measurements. The similarity of the forms of the relation between the transformation of probabilities, which we derive in the frame of quantum stochastic approach and in the frame of straight ward frequency arguments, underlines once more that the projective (von Neumann) measurements correspond only to a very special kind of measurement situations in quantum theory.

Fundamental Principle for Quantum Theory

We propose the principle, the law of statistical balance for basic physical observables, which specifies quantum statistical theory among all other statistical theories of measurements. It seems that this principle might play in quantum theory the role that is similar to the role of Einstein's relativity principle.

Quantum-like formalism for cognitive measurements

We develop a kind of quantum formalism (Hilbert space probabilistic calculus) for measurements performed over cognitive (in particular, conscious) systems. By using this formalism we could predict averages of cognitive observables. Reflecting the basic idea of neurophisiological and psychological studies on a hierarchic structure of cognitive processes, we use p-adic hierarchic trees as a mathematical model of a mental space. We also briefly discuss the general problem of the choice of adequate mental geometry.

Quantum theory: Reconsideration of foundations

The purpose of the conference (the fourth in the series of Vaxjo conferences) was to bring together scientists (physicists, mathematicians and philosophers) who are interested in foundations of quantum physics. An emphasis was made on both theory and experiment, the underlying objective being to offer to the physical, mathematical and philosophic communities a truly interdisciplinary conference as a privileged place for a scientific interaction. Due to the actual increased role of foundations in the development of quantum information theory as well as the necessity to reconsider foundations at the beginning of the new millennium, the organizers of the conference decided that it was just the right time for taking the scientific risk of trying this.

What is really "quantum" in quantum theory?

By analysing probabilistic foundations of quantum theory we understood that the so called quantum calculus of probabilities (including Born's rule) is not the main distinguishing feature of "quantum". This calculus is just a special variant of a contextual probabilistic calculus. In particular, we analysed the EPR-Bohm-Bell approach by using contextual probabilistic models (e.g., the frequency von Mises model). It is demonstrated that the EPR-Bohm-Bell consideration are not so much about "quantum", but they are merely about contextual. Our conjecture is that the "fundamental quantum element" is the Schrödinger evolution describing the very special dependence of probabilities on contexts. The main quantum mystery is neither the probability calculus in a Hilbert space nor the nonncommutative (Heisenberg) representation of physical observables, but the Schrödinger evolution of contextual probabilities.
