Abstract

Possible solution of the Schrodinger's cat paradox is considered.We pointed out that: the collapsed state of the cat always shows definite and predictable measurement outcomes even if Schrodinger's cat consists of a superposition: |cat = |live cat + |death cat

Highlights

  • As Weinberg recently reminded us [1], the measurement problem remains a fundamental conundrum

  • During measurement the state vector of the microscopic system collapses in a probabilistic way to one of a number of classical states, in a way that is unexplained, and cannot be described by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation [1]-[5].To review the essentials, it is sufficient to consider two-state systems

  • This paper presents antheoretical approach of the measurement state” (MS) that resolves the problem of definite outcomes for the Schrödinger’s "cat"

Summary

Introduction

As Weinberg recently reminded us [1], the measurement problem remains a fundamental conundrum. This paper presents antheoretical approach of the MS that resolves the problem of definite outcomes for the Schrödinger’s "cat" It shows that the MS is the collapsed state of both Schrödinger’s "cat" and nucleus, even though it evolved purely unitarily. Let us consider a system of n particles which, only for the sake of simplicity, we take to be scalar and spin-less; the GRW model is defined by the following postulates [2] : (1) The state of the system is represented by a wave function |ψ୲ሺxଵ, ... (4) Between two consecutive jumps, the state vector evolves according to the standard Schrödinger equation.We note that GRW collapse model follows from the more general S. We have choose operators (2.10),(2.12) and (2.14) such that the boundary conditions (2.5),(2.6) is satisfied
