Standard quantum mechanics without observers

چکیده

The Projection Postulate from Standard Quantum Mechanics relies fundamentally on measurements. But measurements implicitly suggest the existence of anthropocentric notions like measuring devices, which should rather emerge theory. This article proposes an alternative formulation Mechanics, in is replaced with a version and observations are not assumed as fundamental. More precisely, Wigner functions representing quantum states phase space required to be tightly constrained regions classical coarse graining space. ensures that quasiclassical at macrolevel. Within coarse-graining region, time evolution system obey Liouville-von Neumann equation, phase-space equivalent Schr\"odinger equation. projection postulated happen when transitions region others, by selecting one them according Born rule, but without reference connection standard explained, well problems present solves, particular Wigner's friend type paradoxes. Experimental consequences open proposed discussed.

Quantum Theory Without Observers

The concept of`measurement' becomes so fuzzy on reeection that it is quite surprising to have it appearing in physical theory at the most fundamental level.. .. D]oes not any analysis of measurement require concepts more fundamental than measurement? And should not the fundamental theory be about these more fundamental concepts? (Bell 1981 1, page 117])

Quantum mechanics without interpretation

It is shown that the independence of the continuum hypothesis points to the unique definite status of the set of intermediate cardinality: the intermediate set exists only as a subset of continuum. This latent status is a consequence of duality of the members of the set. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the intermediate set, its complete description falls into several “sections” (theories...

Quantum Mechanics Without Measurements

Many of the conceptual problems students have in understanding quantum mechanics arise from the way probabilities are introduced in standard (textbook) quantum theory through the use of measurements. Introducing consistent microscopic probabilities in quantum theory requires setting up appropriate sample spaces taking proper account of quantum incompatibility. When this is done the Schrödinger ...

Quantum Mechanics without amplitudes

Amplitudes are the major logical object in Quantum Theory. Despite this fact they presents no physical reality and in consequence only observables can be experimetally checked. We discuss the possibility of a theory of Quantum Probabilities capable of give full account to quantum phenomena. Advanteges of this formulation are the evidence of physical processes not described by the orotodox formu...

Quantum mechanics without statistical postulates

The Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics is used in order to describe the measurement process in an intuitive way without a reduction postulate in the framework of a deterministic single system theory. Thereby the motion of the hidden classical particle is chaotic during almost all nontrivial measurement processes. For the correct reproduction of experimental results, it is further essentia...
