Toolbox for reconstructing quantum theory from rules on information acquisition

We develop an operational approach for reconstructing the quantum theory of qubit systems from elementary rules on information acquisition. The focus lies on an observer $O$ interrogating a system $S$ with binary questions and $S$'s state is taken as $O$'s `catalogue of knowledge' abo...
