Quantum state discrimination underlies various applications in quantum information
processing tasks. It essentially describes the distinguishability of quantum systems in …

Towards the end of 2011, Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph derived a theorem that aimed to show
that the quantum state must be ontic (a state of reality) in a broad class of realist approaches …

The control of individual quantum systems promises a new technology for the 21st century-
quantum technology. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of modern quantum …

Quantum states are the key mathematical objects in quantum theory. It is therefore surprising
that physicists have been unable to agree on what a quantum state truly represents. One …

In the quantum-Bayesian interpretation of quantum theory (or QBism), the Born rule cannot
be interpreted as a rule for setting measurement-outcome probabilities from an objective …

This article summarizes the Quantum Bayesian point of view of quantum mechanics, with
special emphasis on the view's outer edges---dubbed QBism. QBism has its roots in …

Abstract In the Philosophical Investigations, Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote,“'I'is not the name of
a person, nor 'here'of a place,.... But they are connected with names....[And] it is …

Quantum digital signatures (QDSs) allow the sending of messages from one sender to
multiple recipients, with the guarantee that messages cannot be forged or tampered with …

Quantum Information Theory and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is a conceptual
analysis of one the most prominent and exciting new areas of physics, providing the first full …

In this paper we consider theories in which reality is described by some underlying
variables, λ. Each value these variables can take represents an ontic state (a particular state …
