Compatibility and probability
K. A. Kirkpatrick
TL;DR
This paper reviews different notions of compatibility in probability theory and discusses how incompatibility and interference phenomena appear in non-quantal probabilistic systems.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of compatibility definitions and explores the occurrence of incompatibility and interference outside quantum mechanics.
Findings
Identifies various compatibility concepts in probability
Analyzes incompatibility and interference in non-quantal systems
Highlights differences from quantum probabilistic phenomena
Abstract
A review of various definitions of "compatibility" expressed in terms of ordinary probability, and a discussion of the occurrence of incompatibility (and the related phenomenon of interference) in non-quantal probabilistic systems.
