Contribution to understanding the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics

Abstract

Probabilistic description of results of measurements and its consequences for understanding quantum mechanics are discussed. It is shown that the basic mathematical structure of quantum mechanics like the probability amplitudes, the Born rule, commutation and uncertainty relations, probability density current, momentum operator, and rules for including the scalar and vector potentials and antiparticles can be obtained from the probabilistic description of results of measurement of the space coordinates and time. Equations of motion of quantum mechanics, the Klein-Gordon equation, the Schrödinger equation, and the Dirac equation are obtained from the requirement of the relativistic invariance of the space-time Fisher information. The limit case of th e δ-like probability densities leads to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of classical mechanics. Manyparticle systems and the postulates of quantum mechanics are also discussed.
