Standard quantum theory in coherent state representation is intrinsically related to a number of earlier concepts conciliating quantum and classical processes. From a natural statistical interpretation, free of collapses or measurements, the usual von Neumann-L\\\"uders collapse as well as its quantum state diffusion interpretation follow. In particular, a theory of coupled quantum and classical dynamics arises, containing the fluctuation corrections versus the fenomenological mean-field theories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-01-25T17:22:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "measurement problem", "coherent state representation", "quantum state diffusion interpretation", "standard quantum theory", "earlier concepts conciliating quantum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 424973, "adsabs": "1996quant.ph.10037D" } } }
