- Abstract: What is the observer's role in quantum measurement? Obviously, observers
prepare the apparatus, observe and interpret the measured results. Although the
observer will have a certain influence on the measurement results by setting up
the measuring apparatus, we don't believe human consciousness cause reducing of
wave packet; also observers are certainly required to interpret the measured
results with physical meanings. We believe observers build up their experience
of the external world by playing games with nature, and then "decode" the
nature based on their experiences. We propose a quantum decision theory
approach to explain the role of the observer in quantum measurements, and
pointed out that a set of quantum decision trees (strategies to answer natural
questions with yes/no logic) can be optimized to deal with the challenges of
nature through quantum genetic programming based on maximization of the
expected value of the observers; Quantum decision trees can discover the
dynamics rules of quantum entities and Just as classical mechanics uses the
principle of least action to obtain the trajectories of particles, we use the
principle of maximum expected value to approximately obtain the kinematic
"trajectories" of quantum entities by learning from natural historical "events"
(measured results); even we can "reconstruct" the past of quantum entity,
because we don't know the prior information of quantum entity, it is very
difficult to predict the future of the nature.

We quantify the entanglement for a particle on a 1d quantum random walk under inefficient monitoring.
We find that the system's maximal mean entanglement at the measurement-induced quantum-to-classical crossover is in different ways by the measurement strength and inefficiency.

(Not) Predict [0.0]
We argue that post-quantum theories can offer predictive advantage whilst conforming to the Born rule on average.
We uncover a fascinating possibility: when the assumption of'reliable intersubjectivity' between different observers is violated, subjective predictive advantage can, in principle, exist.
The findings reconcile us to quantum uncertainty as an aspect of limits on Nature's predictability.

We show that the spin operator acquires a momentum-dependent contribution in quantum mechanics equipped with a minimal length.
Among other consequences, this modification induces a form of quantum nonlocality stronger than the one arising in ordinary quantum mechanics.

We propose a general framework to directly obtain individual matrix entries of the measurement operators.
We experimentally implement this scheme to monitor the coherent evolution of a general quantum measurement.

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.

We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.

Contrary to the widespread view in favor of the second, we shall show that quantum mechanics predicts that only the first case occurs.
