The Quantum Theory of Measurement

List of contents

In this book the authors give within the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics a systematic exposition of the quantum theory of measurement. Their approach includes the concepts of unsharp objectification and of nonunitary transformations needed for a unifying description of various detailed investigations. The book addresses advanced students and researchers in physics and philosophy of science. Summary of contents:
Introduction
Basic Features of Quantum Mechanics
