INSIGHTS AND IMPLICATIONS FROM A BAYESIAN APPROACH TO QUANTUM INFORMATION

Providing quantum theory, and thus quantum information, with some meaning, can only be the result of adopting a well-defined approach to the notion of probability. From a subjectivistic Bayesian approach to the latter, it follows that not only quantum states, but also quantum operations, are structural elements of a subjective nature. Furthermore, we provide a representation of any quantum operation as a stochastic matrix.
