Everett and the Born Rule
During the last ten years or so, derivations of the Born rule based on decision theory have been proposed and developed, and it is claimed that these are valid in the context of the Everett interpretation. This claim is critically assessed and it is shown that one of its key assumptions is a natural consequence of the principles underlying the Copenhagen interpretation, but constitutes a major ...
متن کاملPion Electroproduction on the Nucleon and the Generalized Gdh Sum Rule
Results of the recently developed unitary isobar model (MAID) are presented for the spin asymmetries, structure functions and relevant sum rules in the resonance region. The model describes the presently available data for single-pion photoand electroproduction in the resonance region below Wcm = 2 GeV very well. It is based on Born terms and resonance contributions, and the respective multipol...
متن کاملOn the Everett Programme and the Born Rule
Proponents of the Everett interpretation of Quantum Theory have made efforts to show that to an observer in a branch, everything happens as if the projection postulate were true without postulating it. In this paper, we will indicate that it is only possible to deduce this rule if one introduces another postulate that is logically equivalent to introducing the projection postulate as an extra a...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Quantum Measurements
Unitary evolution and projective measurement are fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics. Even though projective measurement yields one of the eigenstates of the measured operator as the outcome, there is no theory that predicts which eigenstate will be observed in which experimental run. There exists only an ensemble description, which predicts probabilities of various outcomes over many exper...
متن کاملUnitary local invariance
We address unitary local invariance of bipartite pure states. Given a bipartite state |Ψ〉〉 = ∑ ij ψij |i〉1⊗|j〉2 the complete characterization of the class of local unitaries U1 ⊗ U2 for which U1 ⊗ U2|Ψ〉〉 = |Ψ〉〉 is obtained in terms of the singular values of the matrix Ψ = [ψ]ij . Suppose you are given a bipartite pure state |Ψ〉〉 ∈ H1 ⊗H2 and asked for which (pairs of) unitaries the state is loc...
