• Abstract: The subjective Bayesian interpretation of quantum mechanics (QBism) and Rovelli's relational interpretation of quantum mechanics (RQM) are both notable for embracing the radical idea that measurement outcomes correspond to events whose occurrence (or not) is relative to an observer. Here we provide a detailed study of their similarities and especially their differences.

  relational interpretation of quantum mechanics (RQM) introduced in its present form by Carlo Rovelli in 1996. RQM assumes that all objects in the universe are quantum objects, regardless of their material complexity. concept of randomness associated with quantum state variables in RQM differs from that in other QM interpretations.

  We study learnability of quantum circuit Born machines (QCBMs) and quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) We first analyze the generalization ability of QCBMs and identify their superiorities when the quantum devices can directly access the target distribution. Next, we prove how the generalization error bound of QGANs depends on the employed Ansatz, the number of qudits, and input states.

  We experimentally observe the violations of Leggett-Garg-Bell's inequalities on single and multi-qubit systems. Our analysis highlights the limits of nowadays quantum platforms, showing that the above-mentioned correlation functions deviate from theoretical prediction as the number of qubits and the depth of the circuit grow.

  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.

  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
