Title: Whose Probabilities? About What? A Reply to Khrennikov
Authors: Blake C. Stacey
Abstract summary: In a recent article, Khrennikov claims that a particular theorem about agreement between quantum measurement results poses a problem for the interpretation of quantum mechanics known as QBism. Considering the basic setup of that theorem in light of the meaning that QBism gives to probability shows that the claim is unfounded.

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.

When will two agents agree on a quantum measurement outcome? Intersubjective agreement in QBism [0.0]
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.

Connecting classical finite exchangeability to quantum theory [69.62715388742298]
Exchangeability is a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. We show how a de Finetti-like representation theorem for finitely exchangeable sequences requires a mathematical representation which is formally equivalent to quantum theory.

Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
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.
