Exotic Probability Theories and Quantum Mechanics: References

Dear Friends,

I thought that it might be useful to collect references relevant to exotic probability theories and their relation to quantum mechanics. If you see something missing, please let me know.

Here's my most recent talk...from 2021.

Regards,

Saul Youssef
