The Paradigm of Complex Probability and Quantum Mechanics: The Quantum Harmonic Oscillator with Gaussian Initial Condition – The Momentum Wavefunction and The Wavefunction Entropies

What is it about?

The system of probability axioms of Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov put forward in 1933 can be developed to encompass the set of imaginary numbers after adding to his established five axioms a supplementary three axioms. Therefore, any probabilistic phenomenon can thus be performed in what is now the set of complex probabilities C which is the sum of the real set of probabilities R and the complementary and associated and corresponding imaginary set of probabilities M. The aim here is to compute the complex probabilities by taking into consideration additional novel imaginary dimensions to the phenomenon that occurs in the “real” laboratory. Hence, the corresponding probability in the entire probability set C = R + M is, whatever the random distribution of the input random variable considered in R, permanently and constantly equal to 1. Thus, the result of the stochastic experiment in C can be foretold perfectly and completely. Subsequently, the consequence shows that luck and chance in R is substituted now by absolute determinism in C. Accordingly, this is the consequence of the fact that the probability in C is got by subtracting from the degree of our knowledge of the random system the chaotic factor. Henceforth, I will apply to the established and well-known theory of quantum mechanics my innovative and original Complex Probability Paradigm (CPP) which will yield a completely deterministic expression of quantum theory in the universe of probabilities C = R + M.

Why is it important?

Computing probabilities is all our work in the classical theory of probability. Adding new dimensions to our stochastic experiment is the innovative idea in the current paradigm which will make the study absolutely deterministic. As a matter of fact, the theory of probability is a nondeterministic theory by essence that means that all the random events outcome is due to luck and chance. Hence, we make the study deterministic by adding new imaginary dimensions to the phenomenon occurring in the “real” laboratory which is R, and therefore, a stochastic experiment will have a certain outcome in the complex probabilities set C. It is of great significance that random systems become completely predictable since we will be perfectly knowledgeable to predict the outcome of all stochastic and chaotic phenomena that occur in nature like for example in all stochastic processes, in statistical mechanics, or in the well-established field of quantum mechanics. Consequently, the work that should be done is to add the contributions of M which is the set of imaginary probabilities to the set of real probabilities R that will make the random phenomenon in C = R + M completely deterministic. Since this paradigm is found to be fruitful, then a new theory in prognostic and stochastic sciences is established and this is to understand deterministically those events that used to be stochastic events in R. This is what I coined by the term “The Complex Probability Paradigm” that was elaborated and initiated in my 23 previous papers.
