A geometric approach to the canonical reformulation of quantum
mechanics
M. Mehrafarin Amirkabir University of Technology
Abstract:
The measure of distinguishability between two neighboring preparations of a
physical system by a measurement device naturally defines a line element on
the preparation space of the system. We show that quantum mechanics can be
derived from the invariance of this line element in the canonical
formulation. We also discuss the canonical formulation of quantum statistical
mechanics.
Keywords:
preparation, distinguishability metric, measurement device, canonical quantum mechanics.
