| dc.description | A non-local toy-model is proposed for the purpose of modelling the ``wave function collapse'' of a two-state quantum system. The collapse is driven by a nonlinear evolution equation with an extreme sensitivity to absolute phase. It is hypothesized that the phase, or a part of it, is displaying chaotic behaviour. This chaotic behaviour can then be responsible for the indeterminacy we are experiencing for a single quantum system. Through this randomness, we no longer need the statistical ``ensemble'' behaviour to describe a single quantum system. A brief introduction to the ``measurement problem'' is also given. | |
