On measurements in quantum mechanics

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik

Abstract

It is shown that measurements of quantum variables can be understood on the basis of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation, without assuming any “jump” os “reduction of wave packets”. The reduction of the wave packets is admissible and giver correct results, but it is not necessary.
