81P15 Quantum measurement theory

Abstract: We propose a definite meaning to the concepts of "experiment",
"measurement" and "event" in the event-enhanced formalism of quantum
theory. A minimal piecewise deterministic process is given that can be
used for a computer simulation of real time series of experiments on
single quantum objects. As an example a generalized cloud chamber is
described, including multiparticle case. Relation to the GRW spontaneous
localization model is discussed.

Keywords: quantum theory, experiment, measurement, event
