Classical and quantum conditional measures from a categorical viewpoint (Mathematics in Quantum System Estimation)

Abstract

This paper presents categorical structures on classical measure spaces and quantum measure spaces in order to deal with canonical maps associated with conditional measures as morphisms. We extend the Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem and the Gelfand duality theorem to an equivalence of categories between them. From this categorical viewpoint, we introduce a quantum version of conditional measures as a dual concept of the classical one.
