Quantum Limits of Knowledge 2021
Tuesday 30th March, 2021
I will briefly recapitulate the senses in which
it can be said that QBism is a realist position
and a realist programme. I will then contrast
what may be called Full Blooded QBism, as
currently maintained by Chris Fuchs and
colleagues, with a more moderate, and
perhaps more defensible, QBism Lite, this
being a version of QBism along the lines
that I articulate in Timpson (2013, Quantum
Information Theory and the Foundations of
Quantum Mechanics, OUP). In particular I
will explain why it seems to me that
escaping the standard no-go results
(especially Bell’s theorem) does not require
one to move so far as to Full Blooded
QBism.
