Analysis of classical and quantum mechanical concepts of probability: A synopsis

This paper addresses the central question of what a coherent concept of probability might look like that would do justice to both classical probability theory, axiomatized by Kolmogorov, and quantum theory. At a time when quanta are receiving increased and expanded attention – think, for example, of the advances in quantum computers or the promises associated with this new technology (National Academies of Sciences: Engineering, and Medicine, 2019) – an adequate interpretation of probability, which is no less important, should be given due attention, particularly with regard to quantum theory.
