This book offers a thorough technical elaboration and philosophical
defense of an objectivist informational interpretation of quantum
mechanics according to which its novel content is located in its
kinematical framework, that is, in how the theory describes systems
independently of the specifics of their dynamics. It will be of
interest to researchers and students in the philosophy of physics
and in theoretical physics with an interest in the foundations of
quantum mechanics. Additionally, parts of the book may be used as
the basis for courses introducing non-physics majors to quantum
mechanics, or for self-study by those outside of the university
with an interest in quantum mechanics. With a Foreword by Jeffrey
Bub. -- "Understanding Quantum Raffles is a wonderful book for both
the specialists and those with curious minds. The elegance and the
simplicity with which the 'three Mikes' explain some of the deepest
aspects of quantum mechanics on the basis of probabilities and
correlations are dazzling and delightful. The same elegance and
simplicity also make the book ideal for any engaged reader who ever
wondered what is so special about quantum mechanics. In our age of
new quantum technologies, this is something anyone should read."
(Guido Bacciagaluppi, author of Quantum Theory at the Crossroads)
"This book makes a sustained argument for an informational
interpretation of quantum theory, blending an elegant mathematical
characterisation of quantum correlations with incisive historical
and philosophical analysis. A must-read for those interested in
quantum foundations, and also a fertile source of teaching
inspiration for quantum theory." (Leah Henderson, Department of
Theoretical Philosophy, University of Groningen) "This is one of
the most fascinating and accessible presentations of the
informational approach to quantum mechanics. What has so far been
mostly restricted to the theoretical physics community is here
masterfully explained for a broader audience even without a physics
background. Scholars, students, and laypeople alike will appreciate
the clear, vivid, and yet deep discussion of what raffle tickets
and correlation elliptopes can tell us about the physics and
philosophy of the quantum world." (Markus Muller, Institute for
Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna)
