“…This argument is based on a quantitative analysis of correlations between the outcomes of measurements of physical quantities (spins) referring to two different sub-systems that have been prepared in an entangled state. The analysis in [14] also illustrates what people call the "non-locality" of Quantum Mechanics; for a recent study, see, e.g., [30]. (For a discussion of the crucial role of locality in relativistic quantum theory, in the sense of Einstein causality, as opposed to the "non-locality" just referred to, the reader may consult [13,23].…”
Section: Inadequacy Of Unitary Schrödinger Evolution Of States Of Physical Systemsmentioning
It is argued that the Schrödinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated physical systems featuring events. A general statistical law replacing unitary Schrödinger evolution of states is then formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics. This law eliminates the infamous “measurement problem.” Our general concepts and results are illustrated by an analysis of simple models describing a very heavy atom coupled to the quantized radiation field. In the limit where the speed of light tends to infinity these models can be treated quite explicitly.

“…where the union is a disjoint union ranging over all normal states ω on the algebra E, and Z ω (E) is the center of the centralizer of the state ω restricted to the algebra E; see Eq. (27) of Sect. 4.…”

“…This formula is claimed to correctly describe the correlations between measurements of components of the spins of L and of R even if, for example, the direction of e is suddenly changed before the silver atom R has traversed the magnetic field between the Stern-Gerlach magnets, but in such a way that the change of the direction of e cannot causally affect the fate of the electron L. This is what is often called the "non-locality" of Quantum Mechanics (see, e.g., [27]). It is not captured by Schrödinger evolution.…”

“…( 26), of Sect. 4 determine a stochastic branching process on the noncommutative spectrum Z S := ω ω, Z ω (N ) , where N E (0) ≥0 , see (27), and ω ranges over all states given by density matrices Ω on H S . It is quite subtle to describe this process explicitly, because it is "non-Markovian", i.e., it has memory.…”

It is argued that the Schrödinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schrödinger equation is formulated within the so-called ET H-Approach to Quantum Mechanics. This law eliminates the infamous "measurement problem." Our general results are illustrated by an analysis of simple models describing a very heavy atom coupled to the quantized radiation field in a limit where the speed of light tends to infinity. The discussion of these models is the main subject of our paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
