Indeterministic Quantum Gravity and Cosmology XI. Quantum Measurement

TL;DR

This paper develops a dynamical theory of quantum measurement involving binary quantum jumps, emphasizing the roles of gravity and cosmology, as a continuation of a series of related works in quantum gravity.

Contribution

It introduces a dynamical framework for quantum measurement based on binary jumps, integrating gravity and cosmology into the theory.

Findings

Defined quantum measurement as binary quantum jumps caused by macroscopic apparatus

Developed a dynamical theory of measurement emphasizing gravity and cosmology

Extended previous series of works on indeterministic quantum gravity and cosmology

Abstract

This paper is a sequel to the series of papers [gr-qc/9409010, gr-qc/9505034, gr-qc/9603022, gr-qc/9609035, gr-qc/9609046, gr-qc/9704033, gr-qc/9704038, gr-qc/9708014, gr-qc/9802016, gr-qc/9802022]. We define a quantum measurement as a sequence of binary quantum jumps caused by a macroscopic apparatus. A dynamical theory of measurement is developed, the role of gravity and cosmology being emphasized.
