Most of the standard proofs of the Bell theorem are based on the Kolmogorov axioms of probability theory. We show that these proofs contain mathematical steps that cannot be reconciled with the Kolmogorov axioms. Specifically we demonstrate…

Various forms of optimality for quantum observables described as normalized positive operator valued measures (POVMs) are studied in this paper. We give characterizations for observables that determine the values of the measured quantity…

We show that a one-dimensional discrete time quantum walk can be used to implement a generalized measurement in terms of positive operator value measure (POVM) on a single qubit. More precisely, we show that for a single qubit any set of…

A reference frame F is described by the element g of the Poincare' group P which connects F with a given fixed frame F_0. If F is a quantum frame, defined by a physical object following the laws of quantum physics, the parameters of g have…

Consider random polynomials of the form $G_n = \sum_{i=0}^n \xi_i p_i$, where the $\xi_i$ are i.i.d.\ non-degenerate complex random variables, and $\{p_i\}$ is a sequence of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a regular measure $\tau$…

We consider functions of vanishing mean oscillation on a bounded domain $\Omega$ and prove a $\rm{VMO}$ analogue of the extension theorem of P. Jones for $\rm{BMO}(\Omega)$. We show that if $\Omega$ satisfies the same condition imposed by…

The Daniell-Kolmogorov Extension Theorem is a fundamental result in the theory of stochastic processes, as it allows one to construct a stochastic process with prescribed finite-dimensional distributions. However, it is well-known that the…

A collection of infinite dimensional complete vector fields $\left\{V_i\right\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ acting on a locally convex manifolds $M$ on which a smooth positive measure $\mu$ is defined was considered. It was assumed that the vector…

In order to analyze joint measurability of given measurements, we introduce a Hermitian operator-valued measure, called $W$-measure, such that it has marginals of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs). We prove that ${W}$-measure is a…

Let a sequence $(P_n)$ of polynomials in one complex variable satisfy a recurre ce relation with length growing slowlier than linearly. It is shown that $(P_n) $ is an orthonormal basis in $L^2_{\mu}$ for some measure $\mu$ on $\C$, if and…

A quantum probability measure is a function on a sigma-algebra of subsets of a (locally compact and Hausdorff) sample space that satisfies the formal requirements for a measure, but whose values are positive operators acting on a complex…
