What would a consistent instrumentalism about quantum mechanics be? Or, why Wigner's friendly after all. Speaker(s): Christopher Timpson
Abstract: Instrumentalism about the quantum state is the view that this mathematical object does not serve to represent a component of (non-directly observable) reality, but is rather a device solely for making predictions about the results of experiments. One honest way to be such an instrumentalist is a) to... read more

Quantum Bayesian: Pros and Cons Speaker(s): Christopher Timpson
Abstract: The Quantum Bayesianism of Caves, Fuchs and Schack presents a distinctive starting point from which to attack the problem of axiomatising - or re-constructing - quantum theory. However, many have had the doubt that this starting point is itself already too radical. In this talk I will briefly introd... read more
