Explicit measurement theory for quantum mechanics
Explicit measurement theory for quantum mechanics is a scholarly work, published in 2001 in ''Physical Review A, Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics''. The main subjects of the publication include master equation, quantum, quantum dynamics, quantum master equation, classical mechanics, physics, quantum information science, measurement in quantum mechanics, quantum Zeno effect, quantum dissipation, quantum process, quantum mechanics, open quantum system, quantum algorithm, Born rule, quantum decoherence, quantum operation, and stochastic thermodynamics. Motivated by decoherence theory, a heuristic formulation of quantum measurement theory is produced in which the macroscopic measuring instrument is explicitly included on the same footing as the quantum system being measured.
