Varieties of Quantum Measurement

TL;DR

This paper explores new types of quantum measurements beyond traditional models, aiming to expand understanding and overcome limitations in current quantum measurement theories.

Contribution

It introduces and discusses novel quantum measurement types that are not covered by standard textbook descriptions, broadening the scope of measurement theory.

Findings

Identification of measurement types outside standard models

Clarification of limitations in traditional quantum measurement theory

Proposal of new measurement frameworks

Abstract

Quantum measurement theory has fallen under the resticting influence of the attempt to explain the fundamental axioms of quantum theory in terms of the theory itself. This has not only led to confusion but has also restricted our attention to a limited class of measurements. This paper outlines some of the novel types of measurements which fall outside the usual textbook description.
