Phys. Rev. A 71, 052107 (2005) [6 pages]Subjective and objective probabilities in quantum mechanicsReceived 14 January 2005; published 31 May 2005 We discuss how the apparently objective probabilities predicted by quantum mechanics can be treated in the framework of Bayesian probability theory, in which all probabilities are subjective. Our results are in accord with earlier work by Caves, Fuchs, and Schack, but our approach and emphasis are different. We also discuss the problem of choosing a noninformative prior for a density matrix. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
