论文摘要
本文探讨了如何根据单一(可逆的)量子动态在宇宙演变的背景下理解测量。制定了与量子力学的非测量公理相一致的单位测量程序,其中测量系统和观察者相关。有人认为,要使这种相关性必须从其他地方转移。因此,相关是进行测量时消耗的资源。还认为,此类测量网络建立了一个稳定的客观经典现实,尤其是在实验重复性的背景下。
This article explores how measurement can be understood in the context of a universe evolving according to unitary (reversible) quantum dynamics. A unitary measurement procedure is developed consistent with the non-measurement axioms of quantum mechanics wherein the system being measured and the observer become correlated. It is argued that for this to work the correlation necessarily has to be transferred from somewhere else. Thus, correlation is a resource that is consumed when measurements take place. It is also argued that a network of such measurements establishes a stable objective classical reality, especially in the context of repeatability of experiments.
