Bio

John is a theoretical physicist specializing in the foundations of quantum mechanics. His primary focus is QBism, an interpretation and project to understand what quantum theory can tell us about the character of reality. Through this, he studies the structure of quantum theory as it manifests in different representations and ultimately seeks an understanding of how agency and the world co-emerge. He is also broadly interested in philosophy and the foundations of mathematics.
