"The measurement process in Local Quantum Physics" (NCG seminar)

Speaker: 
Sergio Doplicher
Institution: 
ROMA - Università "La Sapienza"
Schedule: 
Tuesday, April 8, 2014 - 11:30 to 13:00
Location:

Abstract: 

We will describe a picture of the measurement process which takes into account its nonzero time duration T, the finite size R of the apparatus, and the number N of particles of the macroscopic part of the apparatus, which amplifies the result to our our scale. The conventional picture should emerge only in the limit of vanishing T and very large R and N. We stress that this picture should apply to the unique time evolution expressing the dynamics of a given theory, and should comply with the Principle of Locality. In particular this program would show that the EPR thought experiment does not conflict in any way with Locality.
