The quantum measurement problem.
Despite the spectacular success of quantum mechanics (QM) over the last 80 years in explaining phenomena observed at the atomic and subatomic level, the conceptual status of the theory is still a topic of lively controversy. Most of the discussion centers around two famous paradoxes (or, as some would have it, pseudoparadoxes) associated, respectively, with the names of Einstein, Podolsky, and ...
متن کاملOn the measurement problem for a two-level quantum system
A geometric approach to quantum mechanics with unitary evolution and nonunitary collapse processes is developed. In this approach the Schrödinger evolution of a quantum system is a geodesic motion on the space of states of the system furnished with an appropriate Riemannian metric. The measuring device is modeled by a perturbation of the metric. The process of measurement is identified with a g...
متن کاملThe quantum measurement problem enhanced
The quantum measurement problem as formalised by Bassi and Ghirardi [Phys. Lett. A 275 (2000)373] without taking recourse to sharp apparatus observables is extended to cover impure initial states. PACS: 03.65.Bz
متن کاملQuantum Hamiltonian identification from measurement time traces.
Precise identification of parameters governing quantum processes is a critical task for quantum information and communication technologies. In this Letter, we consider a setting where system evolution is determined by a parametrized Hamiltonian, and the task is to estimate these parameters from temporal records of a restricted set of system observables (time traces). Based on the notion of syst...
متن کاملThe Problem of Quantum Measurement Quantum Measurement as Thermodynamic Limit
We derive the probabilities of measurement results from Schroedinger’s equation plus a definition of macroscopic as a particular kind of thermodynamic limit. Bohr’s insight that a measurement apparatus must be classical in nature and classically describable is made precise in a mathematical sense analogous to the procedures of classical statistical mechanics and the study of Hamiltonian heat ba...
