Quantum Probability: Conditioning and Inference
R. Scozzafava.
Looking at conditional probability
from the right perspective allows one
to avoid classic paradoxical aspects
of quantum mechanics. We discuss,
as an elementary analogue of quantum
states, a classical example (an
urn of unknown composition) with
similar (putative) paradoxical situations,
despite the fact that there
is no quantum effect to which they
could be ascribed. A crucial feature
is that we look at them from an epistemic
point of view and not from the
viewpoint of a (seemingly) ontological
reality.
