Abstract: QBism is one of the main candidates for an epistemic interpretation of quantum mechanics. According to QBism, the quantum state or the wavefunction represents the subjective degrees of belief of the agent assigning the state. But, although the quantum state is not part of the furniture of the world, quantum mechanics grasps the real via the Born rule which is a consistency condition for the probability assignments of the agent. In this paper, we evaluate the plausibility of recent criticism of QBism . We focus on the consequences of the subjective character of the quantum state, the issue of realism and the problem of the evolution of the quantum state in QBism. In particular, drawing upon Born's notion of invariance as the mark of the real, it is argued that there is no essential difference between Einstein's program of the "real" and QBists' realism. Also, it will be argued that QBism can account for the unitary evolution of the quantum state.

QBism is one of the most widely discussed'subjective' interpretations of quantum mechanics. This paper takes QBism as a starting point, but allows objectivity to enter from the get-go.

Quantum Dynamics Happens Only on Paper: QBism's Account of Decoherence [0.0]
QBism has long recognized quantum states, POVM elements, Kraus operators, and even unitary operations to be cut from the same cloth. We present a representation theorem based on van Fraassen's reflection principle.

Quantumness and quantum to classical transition in the generalized Rabi model [17.03191662568079]
We define the quantumness of a Hamiltonian by the free energy difference between its quantum and classical descriptions. We show that the Jaynes-Cummings and anti Jaynes-Cummings models exhibit greater quantumness than the Rabi model.

System-environment dynamics of GHZ-like states in noninertial frames [14.401323451758975]
Quantum coherence, quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality are important resources in quantum information precessing. We study the dynamical evolution of the three-qubit GHZ-like states in non-inertial frame when one and/or two qubits undergo decoherence.

Quantum Instability [30.674987397533997]
We show how a time-independent, finite-dimensional quantum system can give rise to a linear instability corresponding to that in the classical system. An unstable quantum system has a richer spectrum and a much longer recurrence time than a stable quantum system.

Unobservable entities in QBism and phenomenology [0.0]
We argue that QBism's "experiences" are synonymous with the concept of "perceived phenomena" in phenomenology. This suggests an approach to ontology in which objects can only be physically real if they are in principle observable.

Quantum realism: axiomatization and quantification [77.34726150561087]
We build an axiomatization for quantum realism -- a notion of realism compatible with quantum theory. We explicitly construct some classes of entropic quantifiers that are shown to satisfy almost all of the proposed axioms.

Impossibility of creating a superposition of unknown quantum states [16.467540842571328]
We show that the existence of a protocol that superposes two unknown pure states with nonzero probability leads to violation of other no-go theorems. Such a protocol can be used to perform certain state discrimination and cloning tasks that are forbidden in quantum theory.

The view from a Wigner bubble [0.0]
I argue that the key distinction between QBism and realist interpretations of quantum mechanics is best understood in terms of their adherence to different theories of truth. The notion of reality afforded by QBism will correspond to the invariant elements of any theory that has pragmatic value to all rational agents.
