Theory of Measurement of Quantum Mechanics: Mechanism of Reduction of Wave Packet. I

S. Machida, Mikio Namiki

New theory of measurement is presented to show that quantum mechanics can describe the whole processes of quantum-mechanical measurement leading to the so-called reduction of wave packet if applied properly to the total system of object and apparatus. We introduce a simple model, where momenta of particles are measured using a perfect rigid mirror, to yield the reduction of wave packet in a clear-cut way. Microscopic uncertainties of macroscopic quantities and the dynamical scattering theory play the essential roles. Before entering into the main part, we briefly summarize the controversial points in the theory of measurement.

Theory of Measurement in Quantum Mechanics: Mechanism of Reduction of Wave Packet. II

S. Machida, Mikio Namiki

General scope and general formulation of the theory of quantum-mechanical measurement are given. Essential points of our theory are that macroscopic apparatus is associated with many Hilbert spaces and the dynamical scattering theory is applied to microscopic interactions between object and apparatus. It is shown that our theory gets over the Furry-Wigner-Fine criticisms.
