In his recent book Bananaworld. Quantum mechanics for primates, Jeff Bub revives and provides a mature version of his influential information-theoretic interpretation of Quantum Theory (QT). In this paper, I test Bub's conjecture that QT should be interpreted as a theory about information, by examining whether his information-theoretic interpretation has the resources to explain (or explain away) quantum conundrums. The discussion of Bub's theses will also serve to investigate, more in general, whether other approaches succeed in defending the claim that QT is about quantum information. First of all, I argue that Bub's interpretation of QT as a principle theory fails to fully explain quantum non-locality. Secondly, I argue that a constructive interpretation, where the quantum state is interpreted ontically as information, also fails at providing a full explanation of quantum correlations. Finally, while epistemic interpretations might succeed in this respect, I argue that such a success comes at the price of rejecting some in between the most basic scientific standards of physical theories.

在他最近的著作《香蕉世界》中。灵长类动物的量子力学，Jeff Bub复活并提供了他对量子理论（QT）有影响力的信息理论解释的成熟版本。在本文中，我通过检查Bub的信息理论解释是否具有解释（或解释）量子难题的资源，来检验Bub的猜想，即QT应该被解释为关于信息的理论。Bub论文的讨论还将更广泛地用于研究其他方法是否成功捍卫了QT与量子信息有关的主张。首先，我认为Bub将QT解释为原理理论并不能完全解释量子非局部性。其次，我认为，一种将量子态仅仅解释为信息的结构性解释，也不能完全解释量子相关性。最后，
