Schr\"odinger's Cat

TL;DR

This paper presents a quantum mechanical model of observation, linking the act of observation to its source, and deriving the structure needed to reproduce observations as projections within the quantum system.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum model that explicitly connects observation with its source, aiming to reproduce observations through quantum projections.

Findings

Observation modeled as quantum projection

Source of observation inferred and structured

Reproduction of observation within quantum framework

Abstract

The basic idea here is that observation (or one's experience) is fundamental and the `atomic world' is postulated as the source of such observation. Once this source has been inferred to exist one may attempt to explicitly derive its structure in such a way that the observation itself can be reproduced. And so here is a purely quantum mechanical model of observation coupled to its supposed source, and the observation itself is realised as a projection of this quantum system.
