Quantum Measurement Problem, Decoherence, and Quantum Systems Selfdescription
Abstract
Description
Quantum Measurements regarded in Systems Selfdescription framework for measuring system (MS) consist of measured state S environment E and observer $O$ processing input S signal.
$O$ regarded as quantum object which interaction with S,E obeys to Schrodinger equation (SE) and from it and Breuer selfdescription formalism S information for $O$ reconstructed. In particular S state collapse obtained if $O$ selfdescription state has the dual structure $L_T=\cal H \bigotimes L_V$ where $\cal H$ is Hilbert space of MS states $Ψ_{MS}$. $\cal L_V$ is the set with elements $V^O=|O_j> < O_j|$ describing random 'pointer' outcomes $O_j$ observed by $O$ in the individual events. The 'preferred' basis $|O_j>$ defined by $O$ state decoherence via $O$ - E interactions. Zurek's Existential Interpretation discussed in selfmeasurement framework.
