Abstract

The conceptual background of the quantum measurement problem is discussed with respect to an individual-stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of pure states. The derivation of a stochastic dynamics on the pure state space of the “system to be measured” (starting from the joint system including an environment/measurement apparatus) is sketched. Finally the asymptotic behavior of such a derived stochastic dynamics is discussed: it is argued that usually one cannot expect a measurement-typeasymptotic behavior. Hence measurement-type behavior can only arise during an intermediate period of time and the asymptotic behavior will be thermal.
