Abstract

Quantum mechanics cannot be applied within a closed system. Inevitable measurement process in quantum mechanics is usually treated separately from the basic principles of the framework and requires outside observer of the system. In this paper, we propose that the quantum measurement process is actually a physical process associated with the ubiquitous mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Based on this proposal, we construct a quantum measurement model in which the mixed state evolves into a pure state as the dynamical pro-coherence process. Furthermore, the classically distinguishable pointer parameter emerges as the c-number order parameter in the formalism of closed time-path quantum field theory. We also discuss the precision of the measurement and the possible deduction of the Born probability postulate.
