Measurement: still a problem in standard quantum theory

R. E. Kastner

Published 2013-08-20, updated 2013-08-21Version 2

It is argued that recent claims by A. Hobson that standard quantum theory has no measurement problem cannot be sustained. Moreover, it is pointed out that taking the reduced density operator of a component system as an epistemic (ignorance-based) mixture has long been known to be untenable based on direct proof.
