Giulio Chiribella: A complete set of informational principles for quantum theory

Abstract

After more than eighty years from its rigorous mathematical formulation, quantum theory is still mysterious. Its usual textbook presentations are merely descriptions of an abstract mathematical formalism, where``states are described by unit vectors in a Hilbert space" and "observables are described by self-adjoint operators". However, this approach leaves aside the question about the underlying physical principles of the theory.
