Local Quantum Measurement and Relativity

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the quantum theory of measurement within a relativistic context, this book analyzes measurement processes without assuming operators as observables. It establishes consistency conditions for Lorentz-frame independence of outcomes in spacelike separated measurements, addressing the impossibility of faster-than-light signaling. The text delves into local commutativity and the localization problem, providing thorough derivations of key theorems. Additionally, it connects the quantum formalism to the dynamics of particles with definite positions in Bohmian mechanics.
