Events and Piecewise Deterministic Dynamics in Event-Enhanced Quantum Theory

Quantum Physics 2009-10-28 v1 Condensed Matter High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We enhance the standard formalism of quantum theory to enable events. The concepts of experiment and of measurement are defined. Dynamics is given by Liouville's equation that couples quantum system to a classical one. It implies a unique Markov process involving quantum jumps, classical events and describing sample histories of individual systems.
