Why the quantum?

Jeffrey Bub

This paper is a commentary on the foundational significance of the Clifton-Bub-Halvorson theorem characterizing quantum theory in terms of three information-theoretic constraints (…

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…

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…

Maxwell's demon and the thermodynamics of computation

J. Bub

It is generally accepted, following Landauer and Bennett, that the process of measurement involves no minimum entropy cost, but the erasure of information in resetting the memory r…

Revised Proof of the Uniqueness Theorem for 'No Collapse' Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

Jeffrey Bub, Rob Clifton, Sheldon Goldstein

We show that the Bub-Clifton uniqueness theorem for 'no collapse' interpretations of quantum mechanics (Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 27, 181-219 (1996))…
