Test of a theory of the Mott quantum-measurement problem
Jonathan F. Schonfeld
The Mott problem asks: Is there a microphysical mechanism - based only on Schroedinger's equation - that explains why an alpha particle emitted in a spherically symmetric nuclear d…

Generalization of Gamow states to multi-particle decay
Jonathan F. Schonfeld
For single-particle nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, a Gamow state is an eigenfunction of the Hamiltonian with complex eigenvalue. Gamow states are not normalizable; they depend…

Measured distribution of cloud chamber tracks from radioactive decay: a new empirical approach to investigating the quantum measurement problem
Jonathan F. Schonfeld
Using publicly available video of a diffusion cloud chamber with a very small radioactive source, I measure the spatial distribution of where tracks start, and consider possible im…
