Abstract
I shall at first restate the principles of quantum mechanics. We take an abstract Hilbert space H. According to a definite rule, we associate with every physical quantity a linear operator over H, bounded or not bounded. We choose an element ψ of H such that ||ψ|| = 1. We call the mean value of A in the state ψ the scalar product fy(1)|1-1 if A is hermitian, Q(A) is real.
