Nondemolition Principle of Quantum Measurement Theory
arXiv:quant-ph/0512188 · doi:10.1007/BF02054669
Abstract
We give an explicit axiomatic formulation of the quantum measurement theory which is free of the projection postulate. It is based on the generalized nondemolition principle applicable also to the unsharp, continuous-spectrum and continuous-in-time observations. The "collapsed state-vector" after the "objectification" is simply treated as a random vector of the a posteriori state given by the quantum filtering, i.e., the conditioning of the a priori induced state on the corresponding reduced algebra. The nonlinear phenomenological equation of "continuous spontaneous localization" has been derived from the Schroedinger equation as a case of the quantum filtering equation for the diffusive nondemolition measurement. The quantum theory of measurement and filtering suggests also another type of the stochastic equation for the dynamical theory of continuous reduction, corresponding to the counting nondemolition measurement, which is more relevant for the quantum experiments.
