• Abstract: This essay reviews a modern understanding of a quantum measurement. Rather than reducing the picture to the observer's experience with quantum system, we try to put it in the context of a broader physical picture. We also attempt to distinguish some basic components and stages of a generic measurement. In this way, we want to understand which aspects of quantum measurements are important to mainstream interpretations of quantum mechanics.

• A Short Guide to Quantum Mechanics -- Some Basic Principles [0.0]
  It starts by asking whether quantum physics is important, or weird, or incomprehensible. It explains why particles sometimes behave like waves, and how uncertainty and randomness enter physics. Modern topics, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and quantum computing are also covered.

  We show that an arbitrary contextuality game can be compiled into an operational "test of contextuality" involving a single quantum device. Our work can be seen as using cryptography to enforce spatial separation within subsystems of a single quantum device.

• Locality in the Schroedinger Picture of Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
  We explain how the so-called Einstein locality is to be understood in the Schr"odinger picture of quantum mechanics. Contrary to some beliefs that quantum mechanics is incomplete, it is, in fact, its overcompleteness as exemplified by different pictures of quantum physics, that points to the same underlying reality.

• Quantumness and quantum to classical transition in the generalized Rabi model [17.03191662568079]
  We define the quantumness of a Hamiltonian by the free energy difference between its quantum and classical descriptions. We show that the Jaynes-Cummings and anti Jaynes-Cummings models exhibit greater quantumness than the Rabi model.

  We propose a new approach using uncharacterized measurements to witness quantum discord of an unknown bipartite state within arbitrary dimension system. The feature of high robustness against device imperfections, such as loss-tolerance and error-tolerance, shows our method is experimentally feasible.

• Quantum tomography explains quantum mechanics [0.0]
  A suggestive notion for what constitutes a quantum detector leads to a logically impeccable definition of measurement. The various forms of quantum tomography for quantum states, quantum detectors, quantum processes, and quantum instruments are discussed. The new approach is closer to actual practice than the traditional foundations.

• 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.

• Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics and the Surjection Hypothesis [0.0]
  Quantum measurements have four essential components: the furcation, the witness production, an alignment projection, and the actual choice decision. The surjection hypothesis explains the actual choice decision. It is based on a two boundary interpretation applied to the complete quantum universe.

• Coherence Based Characterization of Macroscopic Quantumness [0.0]
  A key element that lies at the center of this problem is the lack of a clear understanding and characterization of macroscopic quantum states. We start from coherence as the key quantity that captures the notion of quantumness. We construct a measure that quantifies how global and collective the coherence of the state is.
