The program of reconstructing quantum theory based on information-theoretic principles enjoys much popularity in the foundations of physics. Surprisingly, this endeavor has only received very little attention in philosophy. Here I argue that this should change. This is because, on the one hand, reconstructions can help us to better understand quantum mechanics, and, on the other hand, reconstructions are themselves in need of interpretation. My overall objective, thus, is to motivate the reconstruction program and to show why philosophers should care. My specific aims are threefold. (i) Clarify the relationship between reconstructing and interpreting quantum mechanics, (ii) show how the informational reconstruction of quantum theory puts pressure on standard realist interpretations, (iii) defend the quantum reconstruction program against possible objections.

基于信息论原理重建量子理论的计划在物理学基础领域广受欢迎。令人惊讶的是，这一努力在哲学界只受到很少的关注。在这里我认为这种情况应该改变。这是因为，一方面，重构可以帮助我们更好地理解量子力学，另一方面，重构本身也需要解释。因此，我的总体目标是激发重建计划并表明哲学家为何应该关心。我的具体目标有三个。 （i）澄清重建和解释量子力学之间的关系，（ii）展示量子理论的信息重建如何对标准实在论解释施加压力，（iii）捍卫量子重建计划免受可能的反对。
