Can `unsharp objectification' solve the quantum measurement problem?
P. Busch
The quantum measurement problem is formulated in the form of an insolubility theorem that states the impossibility of obtaining, for all available object preparations, a mixture of…
Remarks on unsharp quantum observables, objectification, and modal interpretations
P. Busch
This paper addresses the question whether a variant of a modal interpretation is conceivable that could accommodate property ascriptions associated with nonorthogonal resolutions o…
Is the quantum state (an) observable?
P. Busch
We explore the sense in which the state of a physical system may or may not be regarded (an) observable in quantum mechanics. Simple and general arguments from various lines of app…
Insolubility of the Quantum Measurement Problem for Unsharp Observables
P. Busch, A. Shimony
The quantum mechanical measurement problem is the difficulty of dealing with the indefiniteness of the pointer observable at the conclusion of a measurement process governed by uni…
