A proposal is made for how to avoid the introduction of axiomatic observables. The conventional (collapse) and the Everett interpretations of quantum theory may in principle lead to different dynamical consequences. Finally, a formal ensemble description not based on a concept of lacking information is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-06-23T14:02:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum theory", "observation", "axiomatic observables", "everett interpretations", "formal ensemble description" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
