摘要
Formulation of the conventional quantum mechanics in which a state is described by probability instead of wave function and density matrix is presented. We consider the possibility of constructing the invertable map of spinors onto positive probability distributions. For any value of spin, the basis of the irreducible representation of a rotation group is realized by a family of probability distributions of the spin projection parametrized by points on a sphere. Quantum states of a symmetric top described by the probability distributions are discussed.
