Probability and Entropy in Quantum Theory
Published 1998-08-14, updated 1998-09-25Version 2
Entropic arguments are shown to play a central role in the foundations of quantum theory. We prove that probabilities are given by the modulus squared of wave functions, and that the time evolution of states is linear and also unitary.
Comments: Presented at the 18th International Workshop on Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods, MaxEnt '98, (27-31 July 1998, Garching, Germany) In version 2 an error on page 7 is corrected. Results and conclusions remain unchanged
