  This paper presents an epistemological perspective on quantum communication
between parties that highlights the choices that must be made in order to send
and obtain information. The notion of information obtained in such a
communication is a property associated with the observers and while dependent
on the nature of the physical system its fundamental basis is epistemic. We
argue that the observation process is in accord with the principle of
psychophysical parallelism that was used by Bohr, von Neumann, Schrodinger and
others to establish the philosophical basis of complementarity but has since
fallen out of fashion. This principle gave coherence to the original Copenhagen
Interpretation without which the latter has come to have some sort of an ad hoc
character.
