Summary of doctoral thesis: I am developing an ontology for QBism, a particular approach to quantum mechanics, using Buddhist principles, particularly Nagarjuna's Madyamaka, as commented on by Candakirti. QBism is an approach to quantum mechanics that eliminates the 'spookiness' and the apparent mysteriousness from the theory, but an ontology is difficult to develop. I think concepts of emptiness defended by Nagarjuna may provide a key to development of a QBist ontology.
