C Fields, K Friston, JF Glazebrook, M Levin - Progress in Biophysics and …, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract The Free Energy Principle (FEP) states that under suitable conditions of weak
coupling, random dynamical systems with sufficient degrees of freedom will behave so as to …

Quantum-bayesian coherence

CA Fuchs, R Schack - Reviews of modern physics, 2013 - APS
In the quantum-Bayesian interpretation of quantum theory (or QBism), the Born rule cannot
be interpreted as a rule for setting measurement-outcome probabilities from an objective …

Evidence for the epistemic view of quantum states: A toy theory

RW Spekkens - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2007 - APS
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 …

Contextuality for preparations, transformations, and unsharp measurements

RW Spekkens - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2005 - APS
The Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem establishes the impossibility of a noncontextual hidden
variable model of quantum theory, or equivalently, that quantum theory is contextual. In this …

Einstein, incompleteness, and the epistemic view of quantum states

N Harrigan, RW Spekkens - Foundations of Physics, 2010 - Springer
Does the quantum state represent reality or our knowledge of reality? In making this
distinction precise, we are led to a novel classification of hidden variable models of quantum …

Towards a formulation of quantum theory as a causally neutral theory of Bayesian inference

MS Leifer, RW Spekkens - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2013 - APS
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 …
