Smearing of Observables and Spectral Measures on Quantum Structures
An observable on a quantum structure is any -homomorphism of quantum
structures from the Borel -algebra of the real line into the quantum
structure which is in our case a monotone -complete effect algebras
with the Riesz Decomposition Property. We show that every observable is a
smearing of a sharp observable which takes values from a Boolean
-subalgebra of the effect algebra, and we prove that for every element
of the effect algebra there is its spectral measure
Sharp and fuzzy observables on effect algebras
Observables on effect algebras and their fuzzy versions obtained by means of
confidence measures (Markov kernels) are studied. It is shown that, on effect
algebras with the (E)-property, given an observable and a confidence measure,
there exists a fuzzy version of the observable. Ordering of observables
according to their fuzzy properties is introduced, and some minimality
conditions with respect to this ordering are found. Applications of some
results of classical theory of experiments are considered.Comment: 23 page
