The aim of this paper is to explore the ways in which Axiomatic Reconstructions of Quantum Theory in terms of Information-Theoretic principles (ARQITs) can contribute to explaining and understanding quantum phenomena, as well as to study their explanatory limitations. This is achieved in part by offering an account of the kind of explanation that axiomatic reconstructions of quantum theory provide, and re-evaluating the epistemic status of the program in light of this explanation. As illustrative cases studies, I take Clifton's, Bub's and Halvorson's characterization theorem and Popescu's and Rohrlich's toy models, and their explanatory contribution with respect to quantum non-locality. On the one hand, I argue that ARQITs can aspire to provide genuine explanations of (some aspects of) quantum non-locality. On the other hand, I argue that such explanations cannot rule out a mechanical quantum theory.

这是一个原则问题:量子理论信息论重构中的科学解释

本文的目的是探索根据信息理论原理 (ARQIT) 的量子理论公理重构有助于解释和理解量子现象的方式,以及研究它们的解释局限性。这部分是通过提供量子理论公理重构提供的解释类型的说明,并根据这种解释重新评估程序的认知状态来实现的。作为说明性案例研究,我采用 Clifton、Bub 和 Halvorson 的表征定理以及 Popescu 和 Rohrlich 的玩具模型,以及它们对量子非局域性的解释性贡献。一方面,我认为 ARQIT 可以为量子非局域性(的某些方面)提供真正的解释。另一方面,
