Quantum probabilities, Kolmogorov probabilities, and informational probabilities. (English) Zbl 0796.60006
Summary: The relations between quantum probabilities, Kolmogorov probabilities, and informational probabilities are studied against the background offered by the concept of a quantum mechanical probability tree, built in previous work. It is shown that the quantum mechanical transformation theory goes beyond the Kolmogorov concept of probabilities. It is furthermore shown that the quantum mechanical concept of probability is of the same essence as the informational one. The analyses that produce these conclusions bring forth the first lines of a general mathematical representation of the emergence and circulation of patterns of any kind.
