A statistical theory of measurements in unitary quantum mechanics

Статистическая теория измерений в унитарнной квантовой механике

Summary

The paper is concerned with a statistical problem on the detection of particles by macroinstruments in unitary quantum mechanics. Requirements of macroinstruments whose error is minimal are defined. The wave function in unitary quantum mechanics is interpreted. The probabilities of particle detection in unitary quantum mechanics and in conventional quantum mechanics are shown to be different by two orders of magnitude, which can be tested experimentally.

Riassunto

Questo lavoro tratta un problema statistico riguardante la determinazione di particelle mediante macrostrumenti nella meccanica quantistica unitaria. Si definiscono le esigenze di macrostrumenti il cui errore sia minimale. Si interpreta la funzione d'onda nella meccanica quantistica. Si mostra che la probabilità di determinazione delle particelle nella meccanica quantistica unitaria e nella meccanica quantistica convenzionale sono diverse di due ordini di grandezza, cosa che può essere controllata sperimentalmente.

Резюме

В работе рассматривается проблема детектирования частиц с помощью макро-инструментов в унитарной квантовой механике. Определяются требоваия к макро-инструментам, чтобы их ошибка была минимальной. Интерпретируется волновая функция в унитарной квантивой механике. Показывается, что вероятности детектирования частиц в унитарной квантовой механике и в общепринятой квантовой механике отличаются во втором порядке, что может быть проверено экспериентально.
