Title: Betting on Quantum Objects,
Abstract: Dutch book arguments have been applied to beliefs about the outcomes of
measurements of quantum systems, but not to beliefs about quantum objects prior
to measurement. In this paper, we prove a quantum version of the probabilists'
Dutch book theorem that applies to both sorts of beliefs: roughly, if ideal
beliefs are given by vector states, all and only Born-rule probabilities avoid
Dutch books. This theorem and associated results have implications for
operational and realist interpretations of the logic of a Hilbert lattice. In
the latter case, we show that the defenders of the eigenstate-value orthodoxy
face a trilemma. Those who favor vague properties avoid the trilemma, admitting
all and only those beliefs about quantum objects that avoid Dutch books.
