Understanding the Frauchiger-Renner Argument
Jeffrey Bub
In 2018, Daniela Frauchiger and Renato Renner published an article in Nature Communications entitled `Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself.' I clarify the…
'Two Dogmas' Redux

About ten years ago, Itamar Pitowsky and I wrote a paper, 'Two dogmas about quantum mechanics,' in which we outlined an information-theoretic interpretation of quantum mechanics as…
In Defense of a "Single-World" Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Jeffrey Bub
In a recent result, Frauchiger and Renner argue that if quantum theory accurately describes complex systems like observers who perform measurements, then "we are forced to give up…
Why Bohr was (Mostly) Right
