Abstract: (AIP)
The problem of defining conditional probabilities and the notion of statistical independence in quantum theory is analyzed. It is shown that (unlike in classical probability theory) the conditional probabilities of a given set of events can be determined only if the sequence of all the experiments performed on the system is also specified. Such a specification is necessary also for the concept of statistical independence to become physically meaningful.- QUANTUM MECHANICS: STATISTICS
