Pseudo-Differential Operators in an Operational Model of the Quantum Measurement of Observables

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNTCS,volume 7125)

Abstract

The measurement procedure transforms an isolated (closed) quantum system into an open one. The operators of observables of a rather simple explicit form are converted into pseudo-differential operators of more complicated form. A stable numerical method for studying the discrete spectra of the measured observables on the basis of the observed discrete spectra of the expected observables is developed. Thus, a method for establishing a correspondence between theoretical data in the conventional quantum mechanics of (isolated) quantum objects and the experimental data on their measured values for open quantum objects is proposed.
