• Abstract: QBism's foundational statement that ``the outcome of a measurement of an observable is personal'' is in the straight contraversion with Ozawa's Intersubjectivity Theorem (OIT). The latter (proven within the quantum formalism) states that two observers, agents within the QBism terminology, performing joint measurements of the same observable $A$ on a system $S$ in the state $\psi$ should get the same outcome $A=x.$ In Ozawa's terminology, this outcome is intersubjective and it can't be treated as personal. This is the strong objection to QBism which can't survive without updating its principles. The essential aspect in understanding of the OIT-impact on QBism's foundations takes the notion of quantum observable. This paper comprises the complementary discussion highlighting the difference between the accurate, von Neumann, and inaccurate, noisy, quantum observables which are represented by PVMs and POVMs respectively. Moreover, we discuss the OIT-impact on the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

  QBism's personalist theory of quantum measurement is invalidated by Ozawa's so-called intersubjectivity theorem. This paper refutes Khrennikov's claim by showing that it is not Ozawa's mathematical theorem but an additional assumption made by Khrennikov that QBism is incompatible with.

Next, we prove how the generalization error bound of QGANs depends on the employed Ansatz, the number of qudits, and input states.

• Lack of Value Definiteness in Quantum Gravity [0.0]
  We show in both Loop Quantum Gravity and in String Theory, these observables are non-commuting ones. We propose to interpret these physical quantities as ontologically indeterminate -- i.e., indeterminate in a non-epistemic, mind-independent way. This result has two important consequences for current debates in philosophy of physics.

  The relational approach to quantum states asserts that the physical description of quantum systems is always relative to something or someone. We show, in the form of a no-go theorem, that in RQM the physical description of a system relative to an observer cannot represent knowledge about the observer.

  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.
