Perhaps the quantum state represents information about reality, and not reality directly. Wave function collapse is then possibly no more mysterious than a Bayesian update of a probability distribution given new data. We consider models for…

Let $M$ be a connected compact Riemannian manifold possibly with a boundary, let $V\in C^2(M)$ such that $\mu(\d x):=\e^{V(x)}\d x$ is a probability measure, where $\d x$ is the volume measure, and let $L=\Delta+\nabla V$. The exact…
