Wave Function Collapse, Lorentz Invariance, and the Third Postulate of Relativity
Edward J. Gillis
The changes that quantum states undergo during measurement are both probabilistic and nonlocal. These two characteristics complement one another to insure compatibility with relati…
Objective Collapse Equation Maintains Conservation Laws With No New Constants
Edward J. Gillis
Modified versions of the Schrödinger equation have been proposed in order to incorporate the description of measurement processes into the mathematical structure of quantum theory.…
Is the relativistic Structure of Spacetime Ontic or Epistemic?
Edward J. Gillis
As repeatedly emphasized by Einstein our knowledge of the structure of space and time is based entirely on inferences from observations of physical objects and processes. At the mo…
Conserved Quantities and Measurements
Edward J. Gillis
When a measurement is made on a system that is not in an eigenstate of the measured observable, it is often assumed that some conservation law has been violated. Discussions of the…
Wave Function Collapse, Correlating Interactions, and Conservation Laws
Edward J. Gillis
The assumption that wave function collapse is induced by correlating interactions of the kind that constitute measurements leads to a stochastic collapse equation that does not req…
Interaction-Induced Wave Function Collapse Respects Conservation Laws
Edward J. Gillis
Because quantum measurements have probabilistic outcomes they can seem to violate conservation laws in individual experiments. Despite these appearances, strict conservation of mom…
Response to Wiseman, Rieffel, and Cavalcanti on Bell's 1964 Paper
Edward J. Gillis
Wiseman has claimed that Bell was wrong in stating that determinism was inferred rather than assumed in the summary of the EPR argument in his 1964 paper. The reply of Wiseman and…
On the Analysis of Bell's 1964 Paper by Wiseman, Cavalcanti, and Rieffel
Edward J. Gillis
In a recent series of papers Wiseman, Cavalcanti, and Rieffel have outlined and contrasted two different views about what we now call Bell's theorem. They also assert that Bell pre…
Wave Function Collapse and the No-Superluminal-Signaling Principle
Edward J. Gillis
The assumption that wave function collapse is a real occurrence has very interesting consequences - both experimental and theoretical. Besides predicting observable deviations from…
Causality, Measurement, and Elementary Interactions
Edward J. Gillis
Signal causality, the prohibition of superluminal information transmission, is the fundamental property shared by quantum measurement theory and relativity, and it is the key to un…
