How to Measure a Beable
نویسنده
چکیده
A brief discussion is given of measurement within the context of a theory of “beables”, e.g. theories of de Broglie, Bohm, Bell, Vink, and also “modal” theories. It is shown that even in an ideal von Neumann measurement of a beable, the measured value may not agree with the value which the beable had prior to the measurement. 1 Participating Guest, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory e-mail: [email protected]

A Hypersurface Bohm-dirac Theory Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We formulate a scheme for a Lorentz invariant Bohmian quantum theory for N non-interacting Dirac particles involving as an additional beable a foliation of space-time. This theory, which is a generalization of Bohm’s theory for N Dirac particles, allows for an equivariant measure on the leafs of the foliation—and hence for a simple statistical analysis analogous to the equilibrium analysis of n...
متن کاملA Beable Interpretation of the GRW Spontaneous Collapse Model
We extend the beable interpretation, due to Bell, to the Ghirardi, Rimini and Weber [GRW] model of spontaneous collapse of the wave function. Results obtained by Vink are generalized to the modified Schrödinger equation of Ghirardi, Pearle and Rimini [GPR], which allows a beable interpretation for both position and momentum.

We extend the beable interpretation, due to Bell, to the continuous spontaneous localization model (CSL). Results obtained by Vink are generalized to the modified Schrödinger equation of Ghirardi, Pearle and Rimini (GPR), which allows a beable interpretation for both position and momentum.
متن کاملMaximal Beable Subalgebras of Quantum-Mechanical Observables
Given a state on an algebra of bounded quantum-mechanical observables, we investigate those subalgebras that are maximal with respect to the property that the given state’s restriction to the subalgebra is a mixture of dispersion-free states—what we call maximal beable subalgebras (borrowing terminology due to J. S. Bell). We also extend our results to the theory of algebras of unbounded observ...
