Observables

TL;DR

This paper explores the underlying common structure of quantum and classical observables and proposes a contextual generalization of quantum observables, aiming to unify their conceptual framework.

Contribution

It introduces a unified background structure for quantum and classical observables and extends the notion of quantum observables through contextual generalization.

Findings

Identifies a common background structure for quantum and classical observables

Proposes a contextual generalization of quantum observables

Provides insights into the conceptual unification of observables

Abstract

This is the extended version of a talk presented at the J.W.Goethe Universitaet Frankfurt a. M. and at the same time a preview at a forthcoming extensive publication on the same subject. It is shown that there is a common background structure for quantum and classical observables. Moreover, a contextual generalization of the notion of quantum observable is proposed.
