Quantum mechanics is a fundamentally probabilistic theory (at least so far as the empirical predictions are concerned). It follows that, if one wants to properly understand quantum mechanics, it is essential to clearly understand the meaning of probability statements. The interpretation of probability has excited nearly as much philosophical controversy as the interpretation of quantum mechanics. 20th century physicists have mostly adopted a frequentist conception. In this paper it is argued…

Computational Complexity and the Nature of Quantum Mechanics
TLDR
It is shown that the computation postulate is the only true divide between QT, seen as a generalised theory of probability, and classical probability.
Bayes + Hilbert = Quantum Mechanics
We consider the problem of gambling on a quantum experiment and enforce rational behaviour by a few rules. These rules yield, in the classical case, the Bayesian theory of probability via duality…
Quantum-Bayesian Coherence
TLDR
It is argued that the Born Rule should be seen as an empirical addition to Bayesian reasoning itself, and how to view it as a normative rule in addition to usual Dutch-book coherence is shown.
Computational Complexity and the Nature of Quantum Mechanics (Extended version)
TLDR
It is shown that the computation postulate is the only true divide between QT, seen as a generalised theory of probability, and classical probability.
Must a Quantum Mechanical Particle Sometimes be in Two Places at Once
In this short paper, we point out that the interference of probabilities in the double slit experiment, or in a particle interferometer, should not necessarily lead us to think that a quantum…

How Bayesian Probability Might Help Provide a Realist Interpretation of the Quantum Formalism
We offer a realist interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics in which dynamical properties are properly possessed by the system in question, and are supposed to have definite values at any…
Quantum mechanics: The Bayesian theory generalized to the space of Hermitian matrices
We consider the problem of gambling on a quantum experiment and enforce rational behavior by a few rules. These rules yield, in the classical case, the Bayesian theory of probability via duality…
A Quantum-Bayesian Route to Quantum-State Space
In the quantum-Bayesian approach to quantum foundations, a quantum state is viewed as an expression of an agent’s personalist Bayesian degrees of belief, or probabilities, concerning the results of…
The Weirdness Theorem and the Origin of Quantum Paradoxes
TLDR
The ‘weirdness theorem’ is given that characterises the conditions under which weirdness will show up, and shows that whenever logic has bounds due to the algorithmic nature of its tasks, then weirdness arises in the special form of negative probabilities or non-classical evaluation functionals.

Quantum probabilities as Bayesian probabilities
In the Bayesian approach to probability theory, probability quantifies a degree of belief for a single trial, without any a priori connection to limiting frequencies. In this paper, we show that,…
Probabilities as Measures of Information
We analyze the notion that physical theories are quantitative and testable by observations in experiments. This leads us to propose a new, Bayesian, interpretation of probabilities in physics that…
Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
The published work for which the honor of the Nobel prize for the year 1954 has been accorded to me does not contain the discovery of a new phenomenon of nature but, rather, the foundations of a new…
Quantum Mechanics as Quantum Information (and only a little more)
In this paper, I try once again to cause some good-natured trouble. The issue remains, when will we ever stop burdening the taxpayer with conferences devoted to the quantum foundations? The suspicion…
Why Quantum Theory
The usual formulation of quantum theory is rather abstract. In recent work I have shown that we can, nevertheless, obtain quantum theory from five reasonable axioms. Four of these axioms are…
Betting on the Outcomes of Measurements: A Bayesian Theory of Quantum Probability
TLDR
It is shown how the rules of rational betting imply all the interesting features of quantum probability, even in such finite gambles, including the uncertainty principle and the violation of Bell's inequality among others.
Hidden Variables, Statistical Mechanics and the Early Universe
One of the central mysteries of quantum theory is that it seems to be fundamentally nonlocal—and yet the nonlocality cannot be used for practical signalling at a distance. The consistency of modern…

Quantum Theory From Five Reasonable Axioms
The usual formulation of quantum theory is based on rather obscure axioms (employing complex Hilbert spaces, Hermitean operators, and the trace formula for calculating probabilities). In this paper…
Scientific Inference
SCIENTISTS generally care so little for scientific principles that the title of this book may repel as many as its author's name attracts. Let it be, therefore, stated at once that it is not a formal…
