Some Comments on Three Suggested Postulates for Quantum Theory

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

Three basic postulates for Quantum Theory are proposed, namely the Probability, Maximum-Speed and Hilbert-Space postulates. Subsequently we show how these postulates give rise to well-known and widely used quantum results, as the probability rule and the linearity of quantum evolution. A discussion of the postulates in the light of Bell's theorem is included which points towards yet unsolved conceptual problems in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics.
