Environment - Assisted Invariance, Causality, and Probabilities in Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics 2010-03-02 v1

Abstract

I introduce environment - assisted invariance -- a symmetry related to causality that is exhibited by correlated quantum states -- and describe how it can be used to understand the nature of ignorance and, hence, the origin of probabilities in quantum physics.
