An Introduction to QBism with an Application to the Locality of Quantum Mechanics

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We give an introduction to the QBist interpretation of quantum mechanics. We note that it removes the paradoxes, conundra, and pseudo-problems that have plagued quantum foundations for the past nine decades. As an example, we show in detail how it eliminates quantum "nonlocality".
