# A generic model for quantum measurements

## TL;DR

This paper presents a unified model of quantum measurements based on a physical phenomenology of quantization, emphasizing the interplay between modalities and contexts, and linking it to broader quantum theories.

## Contribution

It introduces a unified framework for quantum measurements rooted in a simple axiomatic approach based on quantization phenomenology.

## Key findings

- Justifies the system-context dichotomy in quantum measurements
- Clarifies the role of quantum interferences within the model
- Links the measurement framework to stochastic quantum thermodynamics and algebraic quantum theory

## Abstract

In previous articles we presented a derivation of Born's rule and unitary transforms in Quantum Mechanics (QM), from a simple set of axioms built upon a physical phenomenology of quantization. Physically, the structure of QM results of an interplay between the quantized number of "modalities" accessible to a quantum system, and the continuum of "contexts" required to define these modalities. In the present article we provide a unified picture of quantum measurements within our approach, and justify further the role of the system-context dichotomy, and of quantum interferences. We also discuss links with stochastic quantum thermodynamics, and with algebraic quantum theory.
