Lectures on dynamical models for quantum measurements
In textbooks, ideal quantum measurements are described in terms of the tested system only by the collapse postulate and Born's rule. This level of description offers a rather flexible position for…
A sub-ensemble theory of ideal quantum measurement processes
Simultaneous measurement of two noncommuting quantum variables : Solution of a dynamical model
The possibility of performing simultaneous measurements in quantum mechanics is investigated in the context of the Curie-Weiss model for a projective measurement. Concretely, we consider a spin-1/2…
Emergences in Quantum Measurement Processes
Abstract Quantum mechanics is acknowledged as the fundamental theory on which the whole fabric of physics is supposed to rely. And yet, the features of quantum measurements, processes that provide…
Quantum mechanics via quantum tomography
Starting from a new basic principle inspired by quantum tomography rather than from Born’s rule, this paper gives an elementary, and self-contained deductive approach to quantum mechanics and quantum…

The recent rigorous derivation of the Born rule from the dynamical law of quantum mechanics Allahverdyan et al. (Phys Rep 525:1–166. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physrep.2012.11.001, 2013) is taken as…
A stochastic model for quantum measurement
We develop a statistical model of microscopic stochastic deviation from classical mechanics based on a stochastic process with a transition probability that is assumed to be given by an exponential…
Non-Markovian quantum measurements in the non-invasive limit
In many real quantum systems the measurement is much less invasive than described by the projection postulate. For example, it is performed by weakly coupling a detector for a finite time to the…
Collective Dynamics in NMR and Quantum Noise
TLDR
An open quantum system model to describe the statistical fluctuations of a spin ensemble in NMR and the symmetry of the hetronuclear dipolar relaxation is analyzed, which is one of the responsible mechanisms for observing a noise protected state.
von Neumann spin measurements with Rashba fields
We show that dynamics in the spin–orbit coupling field simulate the von Neumann measurement of a particle spin. We demonstrate how the measurement influences the spin and coordinate evolution of a…

Curie-Weiss model of the quantum measurement process
A Hamiltonian model is solved, which satisfies all requirements for a realistic ideal quantum measurement. The system S is a spin-½, whose z-component is measured through coupling with an apparatus A…

A model of quantum measurement is proposed, which aims to describe statistical mechanical aspects of this phenomenon, starting from a purely Hamiltonian formulation. The macroscopic measurement…

Can the Quantum Measurement Problem be Resolved within the Framework of Schroedinger Dynamics and Quantum Probability
We provide an affirmative answer to the question posed in the title. Our argument is based on a treatment of the Schroedinger dynamics of the composite, Sc, of a quantum microsystem, S, and a…
Pointer states via Decoherence in a Quantum Measurement
We consider the interaction of a quantum system (spin-1/2) with a macroscopic quantum apparatus (harmonic oscillator) which in turn is coupled to a bath of harmonic oscillators. Exact solutions of…
