A Solution to the Quantum Measurement Problem

A novel solution to the quantum measurement problem is presented by using a new asymmetric equation that is complementary to the Schrödinger equation. Solved for the hydrogen atom, the new equation describes the temporal and spatial evolution of the wavefunction, and the latter is used to calculate the radial probability density for different measurements. The obtained results show that Born’s position measurement postulates naturally emerge from the theory and its first principles. Experimental verification of the theory and its predictions are also proposed.

Abstract

A novel solution to the quantum measurement problem is presented by using a new asymmetric equation that is complementary to the Schrödinger equation. Solved for the hydrogen atom, the new equation describes the temporal and spatial evolution of the wavefunction, and the latter is used to calculate the radial probability density for different measurements. The obtained results show that Born’s position measurement postulates naturally emerge from the theory and its first principles. Experimental verification of the theory and its predictions are also proposed.
