Each point in theBloch ball is a possible quantum state for aqubit. In QBism, all quantum states are representations of personal probabilities.

Inphysics and thephilosophy of physics,QBism (pronounced "cubism") is aninterpretation of quantum mechanics that takes an agent's actions and experiences as the central concerns of the theory. It is the most prominent and extreme form ofquantum Bayesianism, a collection of related approaches that all involve interpreting quantum probabilities asBayesian in some manner. QBism deals with common questions in the interpretation of quantum theory about the nature ofwavefunctionsuperposition,quantum measurement, andentanglement.[1][2][3] According to QBism, many, but not all, aspects of the quantum formalism are subjective in nature. For example, in this interpretation, a quantum state is not an element of reality—instead, it represents thedegrees of belief an agent has about the possible outcomes of measurements. For this reason, somephilosophers of science have deemed QBism a form ofanti-realism.[4][5] The originators of the interpretation disagree with this characterization, proposing instead that the theory more properly aligns with a kind of realism they call "participatory realism", wherein reality consists ofmore than can be captured by any putative third-person account of it.[6][7]

This interpretation is distinguished by its use of asubjective Bayesian account of probabilities to understand the quantum mechanicalBorn rule as anormative addition to gooddecision-making. Rooted in the prior work ofCarlton Caves, Christopher Fuchs, and Rüdiger Schack during the early 2000s, QBism itself is primarily associated with Fuchs and Schack and has more recently been adopted byDavid Mermin.[8] QBism draws from the fields ofquantum information andBayesian probability and aims to eliminate the interpretational conundrums that have beset quantum theory. The QBist interpretation is historically derivative of the views of the various physicists that are often grouped together as "the"Copenhagen interpretation,[9][10] but is itself distinct from them.[10][11]

In addition to presenting an interpretation of the existing mathematical structure of quantum theory, some QBists have advocated a research program ofreconstructing quantum theory from basic physical principles whose QBist character is manifest. The ultimate goal of this research is to identify what aspects of theontology of the physical world make quantum theory a good tool for agents to use.[12] However, the QBist interpretation itself, as described in§ Core positions, does not depend on any particular reconstruction.

History and development

[edit]
British philosopher, mathematician, and economistFrank Ramsey, whose interpretation of probability theory inspired quantum Bayesianism.[13]

E. T. Jaynes, a promoter of the use of Bayesian probability in statistical physics, once suggested that quantum theory is "[a] peculiar mixture describing in part realities of Nature, in part incomplete human information about Nature—all scrambled up byHeisenberg andBohr into an omelette that nobody has seen how to unscramble".[14] This point of view inspired the development of quantum Bayesianism.[13] Jaynes pointed out that a mixed quantum state can be written in multiple different ways as a statistical mixture of pure states. (This is part of what would later be known as theSchrödinger–HJW theorem.) So, if pure states are supposed to represent objective uncertainty while the weights in the mixture are subjective probabilities representing an observer's uncertainty as to which pure state is truly present, then the subjective and objective have become completely intermingled: many distinct combinations of subjective and objective entities yield exactly the same physical predictions.[15]

A 2002 paper byCarlton Caves,Christopher A. Fuchs and Ruediger Schack proposed interpreting quantum probability as a form of Bayesian probability.[13] However, all three authors grew dissatisfied with that paper, and ultimately diverged in their views on how to resolve the problems; Fuchs and Schack developed their position into QBism.[16]

Christopher Fuchs introduced the term "QBism" and outlined the interpretation in more or less its present form in 2010,[17] carrying further and demanding consistency of ideas broached earlier, notably in publications from 2002.[13][18] Several subsequent works have expanded and elaborated upon these foundations, notably aReviews of Modern Physics article by Fuchs and Schack;[19] anAmerican Journal of Physics article by Fuchs, Mermin, and Schack;[20] andEnrico Fermi Summer School[21] lecture notes by Fuchs and Stacey.[22]

Fuchs chose to call the interpretation "QBism", pronounced "cubism", preserving the Bayesian spirit via theCamelCase in the first two letters, but distancing it from Bayesianism more broadly.[23] As thisneologism is a homophone ofCubism the art movement, it has motivated conceptual comparisons between the two,[24] and media coverage of QBism has been illustrated with art byPicasso[8] andGris.[25]

Background

[edit]

There are manyinterpretations of probability theory. Broadly speaking, these interpretations fall into one of three categories: those which assert that a probability is an objective property of reality (the propensity school), those who assert that probability is an objective property of the measuring process (frequentists), and those which assert that a probability is a cognitive construct which an agent may use to quantify their ignorance or degree of belief in a proposition (Bayesians). QBism begins by asserting that all probabilities, even those appearing in quantum theory, are most properly viewed as members of the latter category. Specifically, QBism adopts a personalist Bayesian interpretation along the lines of Italian mathematicianBruno de Finetti[26] and English philosopherFrank Ramsey.[27][28]

According to QBists, the advantages of adopting this view of probability are twofold. First, for QBists the role of quantum states, such as the wavefunctions of particles, is to efficiently encode probabilities; so quantum states are ultimately degrees of belief themselves. (If one considers any single measurement that is a minimal, informationally complete positive operator-valued measure (POVM), this is especially clear: A quantum state is mathematically equivalent to a single probability distribution, the distribution over the possible outcomes of that measurement.[19]) Regarding quantum states as degrees of belief implies that the event of a quantum state changing when a measurement occurs—the "collapse of the wave function"—is simply the agent updating her beliefs in response to a new experience.[12] Second, it suggests that quantum mechanics can be thought of as a local theory, because theEinstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) criterion of reality can be rejected. The EPR criterion states: "If, without in any way disturbing a system, we can predict with certainty (i.e., with probability equal to unity) the value of a physical quantity, then there exists an element of reality corresponding to that quantity."[29] Arguments that quantum mechanics should be considered anonlocal theory depend upon this principle, but to a QBist, it is invalid, because a personalist Bayesian considers all probabilities, even those equal to unity, to be degrees of belief.[22] Therefore, while manyinterpretations of quantum theory conclude that quantum mechanics is a nonlocal theory, QBists do not.[20]

Core positions

[edit]

According to QBism, quantum theory is a tool which an agent may use to help manage their expectations, more like probability theory than a conventional physical theory.[12] Quantum theory, QBism claims, is fundamentally a guide for decision making which has been shaped by some aspects of physical reality. Chief among the tenets of QBism are the following:[30]

  1. All probabilities, including those equal to zero or one, are valuations that an agent ascribes to their degrees of belief in possible outcomes. As they define and update probabilities,quantum states (density operators),channels (completely positive trace-preserving maps), andmeasurements (positive operator-valued measures) are also the personal judgements of an agent.
  2. TheBorn rule isnormative, not descriptive. It is a relation to which an agent should strive to adhere in their probability and quantum-state assignments.
  3. Quantum measurement outcomes are personal experiences for the agent gambling on them. Different agents may confer and agree upon the consequences of a measurement, but the outcome is the experience each of them individually has.
  4. A measurement apparatus is conceptually an extension of the agent. It should be considered analogous to a sense organ or prosthetic limb—simultaneously a tool and a part of the individual.

Reception and criticism

[edit]
Jean Metzinger, 1912,Danseuse au café. One advocate of QBism, physicistDavid Mermin, describes his rationale for choosing that term over the older and more general "quantum Bayesianism": "I prefer [the] term 'QBist' because [this] view of quantum mechanics differs from others as radically as cubism differs from renaissance painting ..."[24]

Reactions to the QBist interpretation have ranged from enthusiastic[12][24] to strongly negative.[31] On the supportive side,Theodor Hänsch has characterized QBism as sharpening older Copenhagen-type views and making them more consistent.[32] Some who have criticized QBism claim that it fails to meet the goal of resolving paradoxes in quantum theory. Bacciagaluppi argues that QBism's treatment of measurement outcomes does not ultimately resolve the issue of nonlocality,[33] and Jaeger finds QBism's supposition that the interpretation of probability is key for the resolution to be unnatural and unconvincing.[34] Norsen[35] has accused QBism ofsolipsism, and Wallace[36] identifies QBism as an instance ofinstrumentalism; QBists have argued insistently that these characterizations are misunderstandings, and that QBism is neither solipsist nor instrumentalist.[27][37] A critical article by Nauenberg[31] in theAmerican Journal of Physics prompted a reply by Fuchs, Mermin, and Schack.[38]

Some assert that there may be inconsistencies; for example, Stairs argues that when a probability assignment equals one, it cannot be a degree of belief as QBists say.[39] Further, while also raising concerns about the treatment of probability-one assignments, Timpson suggests that quantum-Bayesian approaches may result in a reduction of explanatory power as compared to other interpretations.[40] Fuchs and Schack replied to these concerns in a later article.[41] Mermin advocated QBism in a 2012Physics Today article,[2] which prompted considerable discussion. Several further critiques of QBism which arose in response to Mermin's article, and Mermin's replies to these comments, may be found in thePhysics Today readers' forum.[42][43] Section 2 of theStanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on QBism also contains a summary of objections to the interpretation, and some replies.[1] Ballentine argues that "the initial assumption of QBism is not valid" because the inferential probability of Bayesian theory used by QBism is not applicable to quantum mechanics.[44] Others are opposed to QBism on more general philosophical grounds; for example, Mohrhoff criticizes QBism from the standpoint ofKantian philosophy.[45]

Certain authors find QBism internally self-consistent, but do not subscribe to the interpretation.[46] For example, Marchildon finds QBism well-defined in a way that, to him,many-worlds interpretations are not, but he ultimately prefers aBohmian interpretation.[47] Similarly, Schlosshauer and Claringbold state that QBism is a consistent interpretation of quantum mechanics, but do not offer a verdict on whether it should be preferred.[48] In addition, some agree with most, but perhaps not all, of the core tenets of QBism; Barnum's position,[49] as well as Appleby's,[50] are examples.

Popularized or semi-popularized media coverage of QBism has appeared inNew Scientist,[51]Scientific American,[52]Nature,[53]Science News,[54] theFQXi Community,[55] theFrankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,[25]Quanta Magazine,[26]Aeon,[56]Discover,[57]Nautilus Quarterly,[58] andBig Think.[59] In 2018, two popular-science books about the interpretation of quantum mechanics,Ball'sBeyond Weird andAnanthaswamy'sThrough Two Doors at Once, devoted sections to QBism.[60][61] Furthermore,Harvard University Press publishedvon Baeyer's popularized treatment of the subject,QBism: The Future of Quantum Physics, in 2016.[12]

The philosophy literature has also discussed QBism from the viewpoints ofstructural realism and ofphenomenology.[62][63][64][65]

Relation to other interpretations

Copenhagen interpretations

[edit]

The views of many physicists (Bohr,Heisenberg,Rosenfeld,von Weizsäcker,Peres, etc.) are often grouped together as the "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics. Several authors have deprecated this terminology, claiming that it is historically misleading and obscures differences between physicists that are as important as their similarities.[15][66] QBism shares many characteristics in common with the ideas often labeled as "the Copenhagen interpretation", but the differences are important; to conflate them or to regard QBism as a minor modification of the points of view of Bohr or Heisenberg, for instance, would be a substantial misrepresentation.[11][30]

QBism takes probabilities to be personal judgments of the individual agent who is using quantum mechanics. This contrasts with older Copenhagen-type views, which hold that probabilities are given by quantum states that are in turn fixed by objective facts about preparation procedures.[12][67] QBism considers a measurement to be any action that an agent takes to elicit a response from the world and the outcome of that measurement to be the experience the world's response induces back on that agent. As a consequence, communication between agents is the only means by which different agents can attempt to compare their internal experiences. Most variants of the Copenhagen interpretation, however, hold that the outcomes of experiments are agent-independent pieces of reality for anyone to access.[11] QBism claims that these points on which it differs from previous Copenhagen-type interpretations resolve the obscurities that many critics have found in the latter, by changing the role that quantum theory plays (even though QBism does not yet provide a specific underlyingontology). Specifically, QBism posits that quantum theory is anormative tool which an agent may use to better navigate reality, rather than a set of mechanics governing it.[22][1]

Other epistemic interpretations

[edit]

Approaches to quantum theory, like QBism,[68] which treat quantum states as expressions of information, knowledge, belief, or expectation are called "epistemic" interpretations.[7] These approaches differ from each other in what they consider quantum states to be information or expectations "about", as well as in the technical features of the mathematics they employ. Furthermore, not all authors who advocate views of this type propose an answer to the question of what the information represented in quantum states concerns. In the words of the paper that introduced theSpekkens Toy Model:

if a quantum state is a state of knowledge, and it is not knowledge oflocal and noncontextualhidden variables, then what is it knowledge about? We do not at present have a good answer to this question. We shall therefore remain completely agnostic about the nature of the reality to which the knowledge represented by quantum states pertains. This is not to say that the question is not important. Rather, we see the epistemic approach as an unfinished project, and this question as the central obstacle to its completion. Nonetheless, we argue that even in the absence of an answer to this question, a case can be made for the epistemic view. The key is that one can hope to identify phenomena that are characteristic of states of incomplete knowledge regardless of what this knowledge is about.[69]

Leifer and Spekkens propose a way of treating quantum probabilities as Bayesian probabilities, thereby considering quantum states as epistemic, which they state is "closely aligned in its philosophical starting point" with QBism.[70] However, they remain deliberately agnostic about what physical properties or entities quantum states are information (or beliefs) about, as opposed to QBism, which offers an answer to that question.[70] Another approach, advocated byBub and Pitowsky, argues that quantum states are information about propositions within event spaces that formnon-Boolean lattices.[71] On occasion, the proposals of Bub and Pitowsky are also called "quantum Bayesianism".[16][72]

Zeilinger and Brukner have also proposed an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which "information" is a fundamental concept, and in which quantum states are epistemic quantities.[73] Unlike QBism, the Brukner–Zeilinger interpretation treats some probabilities as objectively fixed. In the Brukner–Zeilinger interpretation, a quantum state represents the information that a hypothetical observer in possession of all possible data would have. Put another way, a quantum state belongs in their interpretation to anoptimally informed agent, whereas in QBism,any agent can formulate a state to encode her own expectations.[74] Despite this difference, in Cabello's classification, the proposals of Zeilinger and Brukner are also designated as "participatory realism", as QBism and the Copenhagen-type interpretations are.[7]

Bayesian, or epistemic, interpretations of quantum probabilities were proposed in the early 1990s byBaez and Youssef.[16][75][76]

Von Neumann's views

[edit]

R. F. Streater argued that "[t]he first quantum Bayesian wasvon Neumann", basing that claim on von Neumann's textbookThe Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics.[77] Blake Stacey disagrees, arguing that the views expressed in that book on the nature of quantum states and the interpretation of probability are not compatible with QBism, or indeed, with any position that might be called quantum Bayesianism.[15]

Relational quantum mechanics

[edit]

Comparisons have also been made between QBism and therelational quantum mechanics (RQM) espoused byCarlo Rovelli and others.[78][79] In both QBism and RQM, quantum states are not intrinsic properties of physical systems.[80] Both QBism and RQM deny the existence of an absolute, universal wavefunction. Furthermore, both QBism and RQM insist that quantum mechanics is a fundamentallylocal theory.[20][81] In addition, Rovelli, like several QBist authors, advocates reconstructing quantum theory from physical principles in order to bring clarity to the subject of quantum foundations.[82] (The QBist approaches to doing so are different from Rovelli's, and are describedbelow.) One important distinction between the two interpretations is their philosophy of probability: RQM does not adopt the Ramsey–de Finetti school of personalist Bayesianism.[7][27] Moreover, RQM does not insist that a measurement outcome is necessarily an agent's experience.[27]

Other uses of Bayesian probability in quantum physics

[edit]

QBism should be distinguished from other applications ofBayesian inference in quantum physics, and from quantum analogues of Bayesian inference.[19][75] For example, some in the field of computer science have introduced a kind of quantumBayesian network, which they argue could have applications in "medical diagnosis, monitoring of processes, and genetics".[83][84] Bayesian inference has also been applied in quantum theory for updating probability densities over quantum states,[85] andMaxEnt methods have been used in similar ways.[75][86] Bayesian methods forquantum state and process tomography are an active area of research.[87]

Technical developments and reconstructing quantum theory

[edit]

Conceptual concerns about the interpretation of quantum mechanics and the meaning of probability have motivated technical work. A quantum version of thede Finetti theorem, introduced by Caves,Fuchs, and Schack (independently reproving a result found using different means by Størmer[88]) to provide a Bayesian understanding of the idea of an "unknown quantum state",[89][90] has found application elsewhere, in topics likequantum key distribution[91] andentanglement detection.[92]

Adherents of several interpretations of quantum mechanics, QBism included, have been motivated to reconstruct quantum theory. The goal of these research efforts has been to identify a new set of axioms or postulates from which the mathematical structure of quantum theory can be derived, in the hope that with such a reformulation, the features of nature which made quantum theory the way it is might be more easily identified.[53][93][94] Although the core tenets of QBism do not demand such a reconstruction, some QBists—Fuchs,[18] in particular—have argued that the task should be pursued.[95]

One topic prominent in the reconstruction effort is the set of mathematical structures known as symmetric, informationally-complete, positive operator-valued measures (SIC-POVMs). QBist foundational research stimulated interest in these structures, which now have applications in quantum theory outside of foundational studies[96] and in pure mathematics.[97]

The most extensively explored QBist reformulation of quantum theory involves the use of SIC-POVMs to rewrite quantum states (either pure ormixed) as a set of probabilities defined over the outcomes of a "Bureau of Standards" measurement.[98][99] That is, if one expresses adensity matrix as a probability distribution over the outcomes of a SIC-POVM experiment, one can reproduce all the statistical predictions implied by the density matrix from the SIC-POVM probabilities instead.[100] TheBorn rule then takes the role of relating one valid probability distribution to another, rather than of deriving probabilities from something apparently more fundamental. Fuchs, Schack, and others have taken to calling this restatement of the Born rule theurgleichung, from the German for "primal equation" (seeUr- prefix), because of the central role it plays in their reconstruction of quantum theory.[19][101][102]

The following discussion presumes some familiarity with the mathematics ofquantum information theory, and in particular, the modeling of measurement procedures byPOVMs. Consider a quantum system to which is associated ad{\textstyle d}-dimensionalHilbert space. If a set ofd2{\textstyle d^{2}}rank-1projectorsΠ^i{\displaystyle {\hat {\Pi }}_{i}} satisfyingtrΠ^iΠ^j=dδij+1d+1{\displaystyle \operatorname {tr} {\hat {\Pi }}_{i}{\hat {\Pi }}_{j}={\frac {d\delta _{ij}+1}{d+1}}}exists, then one may form a SIC-POVMH^i=1dΠ^i{\textstyle {\hat {H}}_{i}={\frac {1}{d}}{\hat {\Pi }}_{i}}. An arbitrary quantum stateρ^{\displaystyle {\hat {\rho }}} may be written as a linear combination of the SIC projectorsρ^=i=1d2[(d+1)P(Hi)1d]Π^i,{\displaystyle {\hat {\rho }}=\sum _{i=1}^{d^{2}}\left[(d+1)P(H_{i})-{\frac {1}{d}}\right]{\hat {\Pi }}_{i},}whereP(Hi)=trρ^H^i{\textstyle P(H_{i})=\operatorname {tr} {\hat {\rho }}{\hat {H}}_{i}} is the Born rule probability for obtaining SIC measurement outcomeHi{\displaystyle H_{i}} implied by the state assignmentρ^{\displaystyle {\hat {\rho }}}. We follow the convention that operators have hats while experiences (that is, measurement outcomes) do not. Now consider an arbitrary quantum measurement, denoted by the POVM{D^j}{\displaystyle \{{\hat {D}}_{j}\}}. The urgleichung is the expression obtained from forming the Born rule probabilities,Q(Dj)=trρ^D^j{\textstyle Q(D_{j})=\operatorname {tr} {\hat {\rho }}{\hat {D}}_{j}}, for the outcomes of this quantum measurement,Q(Dj)=i=1d2[(d+1)P(Hi)1d]P(DjHi),{\displaystyle Q(D_{j})=\sum _{i=1}^{d^{2}}\left[(d+1)P(H_{i})-{\frac {1}{d}}\right]P(D_{j}\mid H_{i}),}whereP(DjHi)trΠ^iD^j{\displaystyle P(D_{j}\mid H_{i})\equiv \operatorname {tr} {\hat {\Pi }}_{i}{\hat {D}}_{j}} is the Born rule probability for obtaining outcomeDj{\displaystyle D_{j}} implied by the state assignmentΠ^i{\displaystyle {\hat {\Pi }}_{i}}. TheP(DjHi){\displaystyle P(D_{j}\mid H_{i})} term may be understood to be a conditional probability in a cascaded measurement scenario: Imagine that an agent plans to perform two measurements, first a SIC measurement and then the{Dj}{\displaystyle \{D_{j}\}} measurement. After obtaining an outcome from the SIC measurement, the agent will update her state assignment to a new quantum stateρ^{\displaystyle {\hat {\rho }}'} before performing the second measurement. If she uses theLüders rule[103] for state update and obtains outcomeHi{\displaystyle H_{i}} from the SIC measurement, thenρ^=Π^i{\textstyle {\hat {\rho }}'={\hat {\Pi }}_{i}}. Thus the probability for obtaining outcomeDj{\displaystyle D_{j}} for the second measurement conditioned on obtaining outcomeHi{\displaystyle H_{i}} for the SIC measurement isP(DjHi){\displaystyle P(D_{j}\mid H_{i})}.

Note that the urgleichung is structurally very similar to thelaw of total probability, which is the expressionP(Dj)=i=1d2P(Hi)P(DjHi).{\displaystyle P(D_{j})=\sum _{i=1}^{d^{2}}P(H_{i})P(D_{j}\mid H_{i}).}They functionally differ only by a dimension-dependentaffine transformation of the SIC probability vector. As QBism says that quantum theory is an empirically-motivated normative addition to probability theory, Fuchs and others find the appearance of a structure in quantum theory analogous to one in probability theory to be an indication that a reformulation featuring the urgleichung prominently may help to reveal the properties of nature which made quantum theory so successful.[19][22]

The urgleichung does notreplace the law of total probability. Rather, the urgleichung and the law of total probability apply in different scenarios becauseP(Dj){\displaystyle P(D_{j})} andQ(Dj){\displaystyle Q(D_{j})} refer to different situations.P(Dj){\displaystyle P(D_{j})} is the probability that an agent assigns for obtaining outcomeDj{\displaystyle D_{j}} on her second of two planned measurements, that is, for obtaining outcomeDj{\displaystyle D_{j}} after first making the SIC measurement and obtaining one of theHi{\displaystyle H_{i}} outcomes.Q(Dj){\displaystyle Q(D_{j})}, on the other hand, is the probability an agent assigns for obtaining outcomeDj{\displaystyle D_{j}}when she does not plan to first make the SIC measurement. The law of total probability is a consequence ofcoherence within the operational context of performing the two measurements as described. The urgleichung, in contrast, is a relation between different contexts which finds its justification in the predictive success of quantum physics.

The SIC representation of quantum states also provides a reformulation of quantum dynamics. Consider a quantum stateρ^{\displaystyle {\hat {\rho }}} with SIC representationP(Hi){\textstyle P(H_{i})}. The time evolution of this state is found by applying aunitary operatorU^{\displaystyle {\hat {U}}} to form the new stateU^ρ^U^{\textstyle {\hat {U}}{\hat {\rho }}{\hat {U}}^{\dagger }}, which has the SIC representation

Pt(Hi)=tr[(U^ρ^U^)H^i]=tr[ρ^(U^H^iU^)].{\displaystyle P_{t}(H_{i})=\operatorname {tr} \left[({\hat {U}}{\hat {\rho }}{\hat {U}}^{\dagger }){\hat {H}}_{i}\right]=\operatorname {tr} \left[{\hat {\rho }}({\hat {U}}^{\dagger }{\hat {H}}_{i}{\hat {U}})\right].}

The second equality is written in theHeisenberg picture of quantum dynamics, with respect to which the time evolution of a quantum system is captured by the probabilities associated with a rotated SIC measurement{Dj}={U^H^jU^}{\textstyle \{D_{j}\}=\{{\hat {U}}^{\dagger }{\hat {H}}_{j}{\hat {U}}\}} of the original quantum stateρ^{\displaystyle {\hat {\rho }}}. Then theSchrödinger equation is completely captured in the urgleichung for this measurement:Pt(Hj)=i=1d2[(d+1)P(Hi)1d]P(DjHi).{\displaystyle P_{t}(H_{j})=\sum _{i=1}^{d^{2}}\left[(d+1)P(H_{i})-{\frac {1}{d}}\right]P(D_{j}\mid H_{i}).}In these terms, the Schrödinger equation is an instance of the Born rule applied to the passing of time; an agent uses it to relate how she will gamble on informationally complete measurements potentially performed at different times.

Those QBists who find this approach promising are pursuing a complete reconstruction of quantum theory featuring the urgleichung as the key postulate.[101] (The urgleichung has also been discussed in the context ofcategory theory.[104]) Comparisons between this approach and others not associated with QBism (or indeed with any particular interpretation) can be found in a book chapter by Fuchs and Stacey[105] and an article by Applebyet al.[101] As of 2017, alternative QBist reconstruction efforts are in the beginning stages.[106]
