Quantum theory can be viewed as a generalization of classical probability theory, but the analogy as it has been developed so far is not complete. Whereas the manner in which inferences are made in classical probability theory is independent of the causal relation that holds between the conditioned variable and the conditioning variable, in the conventional quantum formalism, there is a significant difference between how one treats experiments involving two systems at a single time and those…

A Bayesian approach to compatibility, improvement, and pooling of quantum states
In approaches to quantum theory in which the quantum state is regarded as a representation of knowledge, information, or belief, two agents can assign different states to the same quantum system.…
Causal Models for a Quantum World
Quantum mechanics has achieved unparalleled success as an operational theory, describing a wide range of experiments to remarkable accuracy. However, the physical foundations on which it rests remain…
Generalized probability theories: what determines the structure of quantum theory?
TLDR
It turns out that non-classical features of single systems can equivalently result from higher-dimensional classical theories that have been restricted, and entanglement and non-locality are shown to be genuine non- classical features.
Information-theoretic interpretation of quantum formalism
TLDR
It is concluded that quantum information, although dramatically expanding the scope of classical information, is not different from the information itself and is therefore a universal tool of reasoning.
Quasi-Quantization: Classical Statistical Theories with an Epistemic Restriction
A significant part of quantum theory can be obtained from a single innovation relative to classical theories, namely, that there is a fundamental restriction on the sorts of statistical distributions…
Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself
TLDR
A variant of Wigner’s friend Gedankenexperiment where each of the current interpretations of QM fails in giving a consistent description, indicating that quantum theory cannot be extrapolated to complex systems, at least not in a straightforward manner.
Quantum mechanics from an epistemic state space
We derive the Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics from epistemic principles. A key assumption is that a physical theory that relies on entities or distinctions that are unknowable in…
Is a time symmetric interpretation of quantum theory possible without retrocausality?

TLDR
It is shown that the assumption that a time symmetric ontology for quantum theory must necessarily be retrocausal can be replaced by a different assumption, called λ-mediation, that plausibly holds independently of the status of the quantum state, and that this assumption implies a timelike analogue of Bell's local causality criterion.
Quantum common causes and quantum causal models
Reichenbach’s principle asserts that if two observed variables are found to be correlated, then there should be a causal explanation of these correlations. Furthermore, if the explanation is in terms…
Quantum to classical transitions in causal relations
The landscape of causal relations that can hold among a set of systems in quantum theory is richer than in classical physics. In particular, a pair of time-ordered systems can be related as cause and…

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,…
Einstein, Incompleteness, and the Epistemic View of Quantum States
TLDR
It is shown that for models wherein the quantum state has the status of something real, the failure of locality can be established through an argument considerably more straightforward than Bell’s theorem.
Evidence for the epistemic view of quantum states: A toy theory
We present a toy theory that is based on a simple principle: the number of questions about the physical state of a system that are answered must always be equal to the number that are unanswered in a…

Quantum dynamics as an analog of conditional probability (12 pages)
Quantum theory can be regarded as a noncommutative generalization of classical probability. From this point of view, one expects quantum dynamics to be analogous to classical conditional…

Quantum correlations with no causal order
TLDR
It is shown that in a classical limit causal order always arises, which suggests that space-time may emerge from a more fundamental structure in a quantum-to-classical transition.
Picturing classical and quantum Bayesian inference
We introduce a graphical framework for Bayesian inference that is sufficiently general to accommodate not just the standard case but also recent proposals for a theory of quantum Bayesian inference…
