- I cannot seriously believe in it because the theory cannot be reconciled with the idea that physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky actions at a distance
A. Einstein - There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature.
A. Petersen (in his obituary of Bohr) - Philosophy is too important to be left to the philosophers
J. A. Wheeler - Quantum phenomena do not occur in a Hilbert space, they occur in a laboratory
A. Peres - I thank my lucky stars he didn't ask a tough question. He could have asked. ``What is Hilbert space?"
- From what deep physical principles might we derive the exquisite mathematical structure of Quantum Mechanics?
C. A. Fuchs - What we are really looking for is a better understanding of the connections between information processing and physical principles in general
J. Barrett - It does seem implausible that God would have taken as a fundamental principle of design that certain kinds of covert activity should be possible while others should be forbidden.

I study the foundations of quantum mechanics, general probabilistic theories, and quantum information science from physical, mathematical, informational, and philosophical view points.
