PROBABILITY REPRESENTATION OF QUANTUM STATES AS A RENAISSANCE OF HIDDEN VARIABLES - GOD PLAYS COINS

摘要

We develop an approach where the quantum system states and quantum observables are described as in classical statistical mechanics - the states are identified with probability distributions and observables, with random variables. An example of the spin-1/2 state is considered. We show that the triada of Malevich's squares can be used to illustrate the qubit state. We formulate the superposition principle of quantum states in terms of probabilities determining the quantum states. New formulas for nonlinear addition rules of probabilities providing the probabilities associated with the interference of quantum states are obtained. The evolution equation for quantum states is given in the form of a kinetic equation for the probability distribution identified with the state.
