Understanding quantum phenomena and quantum theories
What is quantum information
Since the early 90s, philosophers and physicists have been asking the question, "What is quantum information?" In this paper, I will present Shannon and quantum information theories and a minimal interpretation of them which has come to be known as the deflationary view of information. I will present several criticisms that have been leveled at the deflationary view of quantum information and offer responses. This will provide the reader an up-to…
Uncomfortable bedfellows
Quantum information does exist
Re-conceiving quantum theories in terms of information-theoretic constraints
The Many-Worlds Interpretation and Quantum Computation
David Deutsch and others have suggested that the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics is the only interpretation capable of explaining the special efficiency quantum computers seem to enjoy over classical ones. I argue that this view is not tenable. Using a toy algorithm I show that the Many-Worlds Interpretation must crucially use the ontological status of the universal state vector to explain quantum computational efficiency, as oppo…

Explaining Information Transfer in Quantum Teleportation
In this paper I introduce a new species of teleportation which I use to evaluate three explanations of information transfer in quantum teleportation. I will argue that two explanations fail to explain the “physical effect” of teleportation. I will also argue that that information transfer, understood as something more than simple qubit transfer, is not necessary for teleportation to occur
