    Axioms Classical Qm
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for information regarding the classical version of quantum mechanics axioms, specifically the Dirac-Von Neumann axioms. The user expresses difficulty in finding resources that detail how observables are represented by random variables in classical physics. They note the existence of various philosophical attempts to axiomatize physics but clarify that these differ from the specific classical axiomatization they seek. A suggestion to utilize Google for further research is provided, indicating that some classical content may have been overlooked in previous searches.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Dirac-Von Neumann axioms in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with the concept of observables in physics
  • Basic knowledge of random variables in statistical mechanics
  • Awareness of philosophical approaches to axiomatizing physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research classical mechanics axioms and their relation to quantum mechanics
  • Explore literature on the representation of observables as random variables
  • Investigate philosophical texts on the axiomatization of physics
  • Utilize academic databases for scholarly articles on classical physics axioms
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in theoretical physics, and students studying the foundations of quantum mechanics and classical physics axioms.

Hello,

I am looking for more information on the axiomatic treatment of physics. I have found some articles concerning the axioms of quantum mechanics, i.e. the Dirac-Von Neumann axioms. However, I am having a hard time finding anything on the classical version of these axioms. In these axioms, observables are represented by random variables, for instance. There also seem to be numerous attemps of philosphers to axiomatise physics, but these seem to distinct from the particular axiomatisation I am searching for. Can someone help me find some more information?

Hell lot of information here:

Professor google is useful sort of thing.
 
My apologies, I had of course googled it but it seems I overlooked the classical content of some of the links. Many thanks.
