Abstract

A number of themes related to quantum theory/quantum mechanics are discussed in this chapter. First the basic theory is reviewed briefly from several angles. Then the discussion is specialized, first to the qubit case and next to the continuous conceptual variables position and momentum. A focused likelihood principle is derived, and after that there is a discussion leading up to the Born rule. Quantum measurements are discussed from my point of view, and a macroscopic example is given. I discuss briefly the Bell experiment. Arguments behind the Schrödinger equation are given, and I try to argue against the QBist interpretation in its most recent version. Finally, my whole approach towards quantum theory is discussed and then summarized from the point of view of a general epistemic setting.
