A theoretical physicist who coauthored the Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph theorem. Assuming preparation independence, the theorem constrains psi-epistemic models that represent distinct pure quantum states by overlapping distributions of underlying physical states. Its force comes from comparing the model's possible measurement outcomes with the zero probabilities predicted by quantum mechanics.[ref]
