Hello! I’m Derya Gizem Üst, an LL.M. candidate and practicing attorney based in Cologne, Germany. My work and research focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence and data protection, especially under the European GDPR, and on comparative analyses between German and Turkish privacy regimes.

Over the last few years I have:

Conducted in-depth studies on AI law and data protection, advising on regulatory strategies for emerging AI systems.
Led the “Sen de Yapabilirsin!” gender-justice curriculum project and presented our findings at UN CSW64.
Served as a delegate to UN Women’s CSW65, advocating for the empowerment of schoolgirls in Eastern Turkey.

When I’m not immersed in legal texts, you can find me exploring the latest developments on my favorite subreddit: r/LegalAdvice.

Motto: “Law and technology must evolve together to protect human rights in the digital age.”

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
