This model phenomenologically includes an observer. The model allows not only to determine the state of a system after the measurement but also to compute the state of the observer. The state of the observer is equivalent to the operator of a spin projection which the observer will measure at the next measurement.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-12-16T21:04:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "information theory", "measurement", "wavefunction", "collapse phenomena", "spin projection" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006quant.ph.12142B" } } }
