- Abstract: We suggest a contextual realist interpretation of relational quantum
mechanics. The principal point is a correct understanding of the concept of
reality and taking into account the categorical distinction between the ideal
and the real. Within our interpretation, consciousness of the observer does not
play any metaphysical role. The proposed approach can also be understood as a
return to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, corrected within
the framework of contextual realism. The contextual realism allows one to get
rid of the metaphysical problems encountered by various interpretations of
quantum mechanics, including the relational one.

K. Barad proposes "agential realism" as a unified approach to natural and social phenomena.
In our view, agential realism is a kind of ontological correlationism, not a realism.
We propose a contextual quantum realism that rejects substantive dualisms.

Quantum measurement is a fundamental concept in the field of quantum mechanics.
Despite its significance, four fundamental issues continue to pose significant challenges to the broader application of quantum measurement.
We employ a new space-time approach to relativistic quantum mechanics to address these issues systematically.

We argue that the problems identified by QBism and Quantum Pragmatism do not necessitate abandoning the ideal of representing the physical world.
We can avail ourselves of the same puzzle-solving strategies as employed by QBists and pragmatists by adopting a emphperspectival quantum realism

Hoare logic, and incorrectness (or reverse Hoare) logic are powerful techniques for static analysis of computer programs.
We show that any complete quantum abstract interpretation induces a quantum Hoare logic and a quantum incorrectness logic.

The implications of the physical theory of quantum mechanics on the question of realism is much a subject of sustaining interest.
We give here a picture of quantum mechanics as the basic theory for nonrelativistic' particle dynamics.
The key is to fully embrace the noncommutativity of the theory and see it as a notion about the reality of physical quantities.

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.

It is argued that there is no argument that could favour realist or antirealist attitudes towards quantum mechanics based solely on some features of some formalism.
Both realist and antirealist views are well accomodable within operational formulations of the theory.
This discussion aims at clarifying the limits of the historical and methodological affinities between scientific antirealism and operational physics.

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.
