Quantum theory as the most robust description of reproducible experiments

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that quantum theory's fundamental equations can be derived from logical inference applied to experiments with uncertain individual events and stable observed frequencies, highlighting its robustness.

Contribution

It shows that quantum theory's core equations emerge naturally from logical inference principles applied to robust experimental data.

Findings

Quantum equations can be derived from logical inference.

Robustness of observed frequencies underpins quantum theory.

Quantum theory provides the most consistent description of experimental data.

Abstract

It is shown that the basic equations of quantum theory can be obtained from a straightforward application of logical inference to experiments for which there is uncertainty about individual events and for which the frequencies of the observed events are robust with respect to small changes in the conditions under which the experiments are carried out.
