Gianfranco (talk | contribs) (Created page with "===Observations=== In textbooks on quantum mechanics, it is commonly pointed out that the main distinguishing feature of quantum theory is the presence of ''incompatible observables.'' We recall that two observables <math>A</math> <math>B</math> and are incompatible if it is impossible to assign values to them jointly. In the probabilistic model, this leads to impossibility to determine their joint probability distribution (JPD). The basic examples of incompatible obse...") |

Incompatibility–noncommutativity is widely used in quantumphysics and the basic physical observables, as say position and momentum, spin and polarization projections, are traditionally represented in this paradigm, by Hermitian operators. We also point to numerous applications of this approach to cognition, psychology, decision making (Khrennikov, 2004a<ref>Khrennikov A.

Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge(2012)</ref>, Bagarello, 2019<ref>Bagarello F. Quantum Concepts in the Social, Ecological and Biological Sciences Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (2019)</ref>) (see especially article (Bagarello et al., 2018<ref>Bagarello F., Basieva I., Pothos E.M., Khrennikov A. Quantum like modeling of decision making: Quantifying uncertainty with the aid of heisenberg-robertson inequality J. Math.

Still, it may be not general enough for our purpose — to quantum-like modeling in biology, not any kind of non-classical bio-statistics can be easily delegated to von Neumann model of observations. For example, even very basic cognitive effects cannot be described in a way consistent with the standard observation model (Khrennikov et al., 2014<ref>Khrennikov A., Basieva I., DzhafarovE.N., Busemeyer J.R.

We shall explore more general theory of observations based on ''quantum instruments'' (Davies and Lewis, 1970<ref name=":3" />, Davies, 1976<ref name=":4" />, Ozawa, 1984<ref name=":5" />, Yuen, 1987<ref name=":6" />, Ozawa, 1997<ref name=":7" />, Ozawa, 2004<ref name=":8" />, Okamura and Ozawa, 2016<ref name=":9" />) and find useful tools for applications to modeling of cognitive effects (Ozawa and Khrennikov, 2020a<ref>Ozawa M., Khrennikov A. Application of theory of quantum instruments to psychology: Combination of question order effect with response replicability effect Entropy, 22 (1) (2020), pp. 37.1-9436</ref>, Ozawa and Khrennikov, 2020b<ref>Ozawa M., Khrennikov A. Modeling combination of question order effect, response replicability effect, and QQ-equality with quantum instruments (2020) </ref>). We shall discuss this question in Section 3 and illustrate it with examples from cognition and molecular biology in Sections 6, 7. In the framework of the quantum instrument theory, the crucial point is not commutativity vs. noncommutativity of operators symbolically representing observables, but the mathematical form of state’s transformation resulting from the back action of (self-)observation. In the standard approach, this transformation is given by an orthogonal projection on the subspace of eigenvectors corresponding to observation’s output. This is ''the projection postulate.'' In quantum instrument theory, state transformations are more general. | We shall explore more general theory of observations based on ''quantum instruments'' (Davies and Lewis, 1970<ref name=":3" />, Davies, 1976<ref name=":4" />, Ozawa, 1984<ref name=":5" />, Yuen, 1987<ref name=":6" />, Ozawa, 1997<ref name=":7" />, Ozawa, 2004<ref name=":8" />, Okamura and Ozawa, 2016<ref name=":9" />) and find useful tools for applications to modeling of cognitive effects (Ozawa and Khrennikov, 2020a<ref>Ozawa M., Khrennikov A.
