Natural information measures for contextual probabilistic models

Federico Holik, Angelo Plastino, Manuel Sáenz · Quantum Information and Computation · 2016

In this article we provide, from a novel perspective, arguments that support the idea that, in the wake of Cox’ approach to probability theory, von Neumann’s entropy should be the natural one in Quantum Mechanics. We also generalize the pertinent reasoning to more general orthomodular lattices, which reveals the structure of a general non-Boolean information theory.
