Quantum mechanics is derived as an application of the method of maximum entropy. No appeal is made to any underlying classical action principle whether deterministic or stochastic. Instead, the basic assumption is that in addition to the…

We study the dynamics of a particle in continuous time and space, the displacement of which is governed by an internal degree of freedom (spin). In one definite limit, the so-called quantum random walk is recovered but, although quite…

Motivated by recent experiments with two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, we study fully-connected spin models subject to an additional constraint. The constraint is responsible for the Hilbert space dimension to scale only linearly…
