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...") |

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.

Calculus of quantum instruments is closely coupled with ''theory of open quantum systems'' (Ingarden et al., 1997<ref>Ingarden R.S., Kossakowski A., Ohya M. Information Dynamics and Open Systems: Classical and Quantum Approach Kluwer, Dordrecht (1997)</ref>), quantum systems interacting with environments. We remark that in some situations, quantum physical systems can be considered as (at least approximately) isolated. However, biosystems are fundamentally open. As was stressed by Schrödinger (1944)<ref>Schrödinger E. What Is Life? Cambridge university press, Cambridge (1944)</ref>, a completely isolated biosystem is dead. The latter explains why the theory of open quantum systems and, in particular, the quantum instruments calculus play the basic role in applications to biology, as the mathematical apparatus of quantum information biology (Asano et al., 2015a<ref name=": | Calculus of quantum instruments is closely coupled with ''theory of open quantum systems'' (Ingarden et al., 1997<ref>Ingarden R.S., Kossakowski A., Ohya M.

For mathematically sufficiently well educated biologists, but without knowledge in physics, we can recommend book (Khrennikov, 2016a<ref>Khrennikov A. Probability and Randomness: Quantum Versus Classical Imperial College Press (2016)</ref>) combining the presentations of CP and QP with a brief introduction to the quantum formalism, including the theory of quantum instruments and conditional probabilities. | For mathematically sufficiently well educated biologists, but without knowledge in physics, we can recommend book (Khrennikov, 2016a<ref>Khrennikov A.
