Some comments concerning measurements in quantum mechanics

Некоторые эамечания относительно процесса иэмерения в квантовой механике

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

The paradoxical aspects of the quantum-mechanical measuring process continue to provoke numerous discussions, inducating a growing interest in the basic problems of quantum mechanics (1,2). The purpose of the present note is to clarify our views on this important problem and to contras them with the views expressed in some recent publications on the same subject (1h,i).

Riassunto

Gli aspetti paradossali del procedimento di misura in meccanica quantistica continuano a provocare numerose discussioni, che indicano un crescente interessamento ai problemi fondamentali della meccanica quantistica (1,2). Scopo del presente scritto è di chiarire le nostre vedute su questo importante problema e di contrapporle ai punti di vista espressi in alcune recenti pubblicazioni sulla questione (1h,i).

Реэюме

Парадоксальные аспекты процесса иэмерения в квантовой механике продолжают провоцировать многочисленные дискуссии, что укаэывает на растуший интерес к основным проблемам квантовой механики (1,2). Цель настояшей работы - раэщяснить нащи вэгляды на зту важную проблему и сравнить их с вэглядами, выраженными в некоторых недавних публикациях на зту тему (1h,i).
