Can quantum cryptography imply quantum mechanics? Reply to Smolin
Hans Halvorson, Jeffrey Bub
Clifton, Bub, and Halvorson (CBH) have argued that quantum mechanics can be derived from three cryptographic, or broadly information-theoretic, axioms. But Smolin disagrees, and he…
Remote preparation of arbitrary ensembles and quantum bit commitment
Hans Halvorson
The Hughston-Jozsa-Wootters theorem shows that any finite ensemble of quantum states can be prepared "at a distance", and it has been used to demonstrate the insecurity of all bit…
Characterizing quantum theory in terms of information-theoretic constraints
Rob Clifton, Jeffrey Bub, Hans Halvorson
We show that three fundamental information-theoretic constraints--the impossibility of superluminal information transfer between two physical systems by performing measurements on…
Reconsidering Bohr's reply to EPR
Hans Halvorson, Rob Clifton
Although Bohr's reply to the EPR argument is supposed to be a watershed moment in the development of his philosophy of quantum theory, it is difficult to find a clear statement of…
Complementarity of representations in quantum mechanics
Hans Halvorson
We show that Bohr's principle of complementarity between position and momentum descriptions can be formulated rigorously as a claim about the existence of representations of the CC…
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state maximally violates Bell's inequalities
Hans Halvorson
In their well-known argument against the completeness of quantum theory, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) made use of a state that strictly correlates the positions and momenta…
