| Zusammenfassung: | Christopher G. Timpson provides a full-length philosophical treatment of quantum information theory and the questions it raises for our understanding of the quantum world. He argues for an ontologically deflationary account of the nature of quantum information, which is grounded in a revisionary analysis of the concepts of information. |

Timpson. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2013. ©2013 1 online resource (xiii, 293 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Oxford philosophical monographs Includes bibliographical references and index. Christopher G. Timpson provides a full-length philosophical treatment of quantum information theory and the questions it raises for our understanding of the quantum world. He argues for an ontologically deflationary account of the nature of quantum information, which is grounded in a revisionary analysis of the concepts of information. Print version record.
