Histories Approach to Quantum Mechanics
Tulsi Dass
abstract: These lecture notes cover the important developments in histories approach to
quantum mechanics with overall content and emphasis somewhat different from
other reviews and books on the subject.The idea of Houtappel, Van Dam and
Wigner of employing objects based on primitive concepts of physical theories is
discussed in some detail and the fact that histories are such objects is
emphasized. Application of histories formalism to the problem of understanding
the quasiclassical domain is treated in some detail. Other topics discussed
include generalized histories-based quantum mechanics and its application to
the quantum mechanics of space-time,generalization of the notion of time
sequences employing partial semigroups,quasitemporal structures, history
projection operator (HPO) formalism, the algebraic scheme of Isham and Linden,
an axiomatic scheme for quasitemporal histories-based theories and symmetries
and conservation laws in histories-based theories.
