Epistemology and Probability Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and the Nature of Quantum-Theoretical Thinking
It also addresses the relevant aspects of quantum information theory and considers the implications of its epistemological argument for higher-level quantum theories, such as quantum field theory and string and brane theories. One of the main contributions of the book is its analysis of the role ofm...
