Quantum Probability from Subjective Likelihood: improving on Deutsch's proof of the probability rule
David Wallace
I present a proof of the quantum probability rule from decision-theoretic assumptions, in the context of the Everett interpretation. The basic ideas behind the proof are those pres…
Everettian Rationality: defending Deutsch's approach to probability in the Everett interpretation
David Wallace
An analysis is made of Deutsch's recent claim to have derived the Born rule from decision-theoretic assumptions. It is argued that Deutsch's proof must be understood in the explici…
Quantum Probability and Decision Theory, Revisited
David Wallace
An extended analysis is given of the program, originally suggested by Deutsch, of solving the probability problem in the Everett interpretation by means of decision theory. Deutsch…
Emergence of particles from bosonic quantum field theory
David Wallace
An examination is made of the way in which particles emerge from linear, bosonic, massive quantum field theories. Two different constructions of the one-particle subspace of such t…
Everett and Structure
David Wallace
I address the problem of indefiniteness in quantum mechanics: the problem that the theory, without changes to its formalism, seems to predict that macroscopic quantities have no de…
Worlds in the Everett Interpretation
David Wallace
This is a discussion of how we can understand the world-view given to us by the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics, and in particular the role played by the concept of `wo…
