Description

Quantum mechanics is valid not only for microscopic objects but also for the macroscopic apparatus used for quantum mechanical measurements. The author demonstrates the intimate relations that exist between quantum mechanics and its interpretation that are induced by the quantum mechanical measurement process. The book is concerned both with the philosophical, metatheoretical problems of interpretations and with the more formal problems of quantum object theory. This discussion has far-reaching consequences for the possibility of recognizing an objective reality in physics.
