%0 Journal Article %T Geometric Mean of States and Transition Amplitudes %A Shigeru Yamagami %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s11005-008-0238-7 %X The transition amplitude between square roots of states, which is an analogue of Hellinger integral in classical measure theory, is investigated in connection with operator-algebraic representation theory. A variational expression based on geometric mean of positive forms is utilized to obtain an approximation formula for transition amplitudes. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.0858v1
