Jeff Bub has developed an information-theoretic interpretation of quantum mechanics on the basis of the programme to reaxiomatise the theory in terms of information-theoretic principles. According to the most recent version of the interpretation, reaxiomatisation can dissolve some of the demands for explanation traditionally associated with the task of providing an interpretation for the theory. The key idea is that the real lesson we should take away from quantum mechanics is that the ‘structure of information’ is not what we thought it was. In particular a feature of the new structure is intrinsic randomness of measurement, which allegedly dissolves a significant part of the measurement problem. I argue that it is difficult to find an appropriate argument to support the claim that measurement is intrinsically random in the relevant sense.

量子重轴化和量子理论的信息理论解释

Jeff Bub在该程序的基础上开发了一种量子理论的信息理论解释,以根据信息理论原理重新协调该理论。根据最新版本的解释,重新协调化可以消除传统上与为理论提供解释的任务相关的解释要求。关键思想是,我们应该从量子力学中吸取的真正教训是,“信息结构”不是我们原以为的。特别是新结构的一个特征是测量的固有随机性,据称它解决了测量问题的很大一部分。我认为很难找到合适的论据来支持有关测量在本质上是随机的说法。
