A Flea on Schrödinger’s Cat [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2013 We propose a technical reformulation of the measurement problem of quantum mechanics, which is based on the postulate that the final state of a measurement is classical; this accords with experimental practice as well as with Bohr's views. Unlike the usual formulation (in which the post-measurement state is a a unit vector in Hilbert space, such as ...
