Certified randomness in quantum physics

A Acín, L Masanes - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
The concept of randomness plays an important part in many disciplines. On the one hand,
the question of whether random processes exist is fundamental for our understanding of …

Is the quantum state real? An extended review of -ontology theorems

MS Leifer - arXiv preprint arXiv:1409.1570, 2014 - arxiv.org
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 …

Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself

D Frauchiger, R Renner - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
Quantum theory provides an extremely accurate description of fundamental processes in
physics. It thus seems likely that the theory is applicable beyond the, mostly microscopic …

An introduction to QBism with an application to the locality of quantum mechanics

CA Fuchs, ND Mermin, R Schack - American Journal of Physics, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
We give an introduction to the QBist interpretation of quantum mechanics, which removes
the paradoxes, conundra, and pseudo-problems that have plagued quantum foundations for …

Is a time symmetric interpretation of quantum theory possible without retrocausality?

MS Leifer, MF Pusey - Proceedings of the Royal Society …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Huw Price has proposed an argument that suggests a time symmetric ontology for quantum
theory must necessarily be retrocausal, ie it must involve influences that travel backwards in …

Measurements on the reality of the wavefunction

M Ringbauer, B Duffus, C Branciard, EG Cavalcanti… - Nature Physics, 2015 - nature.com
Quantum mechanics is an outstandingly successful description of nature, underpinning
fields from biology through chemistry to physics. At its heart is the quantum wavefunction, the …

Respecting one's fellow: QBism's analysis of Wigner's friend

JB DeBrota, CA Fuchs, R Schack - Foundations of Physics, 2020 - Springer
According to QBism, quantum states, unitary evolutions, and measurement operators are all
understood as personal judgments of the agent using the formalism. Meanwhile, quantum …

Quantum Humeanism, or: physicalism without properties

M Esfeld - The Philosophical Quarterly, 2014 - academic.oup.com
In the recent literature, it has become clear that quantum physics does not refute
Humeanism: Lewis's thesis of Humean supervenience can be literally true even in the light …

Observing Dirac's classical phase space analog to the quantum state

C Bamber, JS Lundeen - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
In 1945, Dirac attempted to develop a “formal probability” distribution to describe quantum
operators in terms of two noncommuting variables, such as position x and momentum p …
