On the process of measurement in quantum mechanics
Philosophy of Science 16 (4):269-278 (1949)
Abstract
It is the purpose of this note to comment on some important problems which have been already vividly discussed by several authors. Besides the well known former discussions of Schrödinger and J. v. Neumann I should like to mention here especially H. Margenau's article, “Critical Points in Modern Physical Theory,” which strongly influenced my present discussion.Other Versions
