- Abstract: The different interpretations of quantum mechanics yield the same
experimental results, which may give the impression that the question of what
interpretation is the true one, is a philosophical question, not a scientific
one. But in this paper, we will see that we can actually prove one
interpretation, in particular, a version of the ensemble interpretation, as the
natural interpretation of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, we will prove the
axioms of quantum mechanics, without the need of anything beyond probability
theory.

We show that an arbitrary contextuality game can be compiled into an operational "test of contextuality" involving a single quantum device.
Our work can be seen as using cryptography to enforce spatial separation within subsystems of a single quantum device.

In the original thought experiment of the Quantum Cheshire Cat, the physical properties of the cat (state) can be decoupled from its quantum entities.
Here, we conceive a new thought experiment that exploits quantum entanglement with weak (value) measurement.

of objective idealism [0.0]
The 'weirdness' of quantum theory can be understood to derive from a vanishing distinguishability of indiscernible particles.
The claim is made that quantum theory can be interpreted in an intelligible way by positing a bundle-theoretic view of objective idealism instead of materialism.

We present a critique of the many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics, based on different pictures'' that describe the time evolution of an isolated quantum system.
Without an externally imposed frame to restrict these possible pictures, the theory cannot yield non-trivial interpretational statements.
We find that the grue-bleen'' problem is not restricted to quantum mechanics, but also affects other theories including classical Hamiltonian mechanics.

Orthodox Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
We argue that any successful interpretation of quantum mechanics must explain how our empirical evidence allows us to come to know about quantum mechanics.
We take a detailed look at the way in which belief-updating might work in the kind of universe postulated by an orthodox interpretation.
We argue that in some versions of these interpretations it is not even possible to use one's own relative frequencies for empirical confirmation.

The theory of probability and the quantum theory, the one mathematical and the other physical, are related in that each admits a number of very different interpretations.
It has been proposed that the conceptual problems of the quantum theory could be, if not resolved, at least mitigated by a proper interpretation of probability.

Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same.
Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles.
We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

The interpretation of quantum mechanics is still in an unacceptable status.
For the sake of human curiosity and to get a better understanding of the universe we are living in, this attitude should be changed.
A possibly interesting new approach is outlined in this article, which may help adjust the focus.
