Abstract

In this note we give a simple no-go theorem that explains why psi-ontic models cannot be expected to reproduce quantum mechanics. We will see that, using information theoretic considerations, the lack of overlap of epistemic states requires all states to be orthogonal, which openly contradicts quantum theory. This argument is a simplifi�ed version of the one we presented in a previous paper.
