Abstract

[The previous chapter addressed the challenge of making sense of the notion of a quantum state assignment being performed correctly without thereby acknowledging the notion of a quantum state a quantum system ‘is in’. The present chapter discusses what interpretation of quantum probabilities goes best with the account that I have called the ‘Rule Perspective’ and started to develop in the previous chapter. The first section considers what quantum probabilities should be taken to be probabilities of in the Rule Perspective; the second investigates what philosophical interpretation of probabilities applies best to quantum probabilities thus conceived. The third section considers two objections to the resulting account of quantum probabilities.]
