Information Constraints in Quantum Measurements and State Collapse
Abstract
Quantum-mechanical constraints on information transfer in measuring systems and their influence on measurement results studied. As the example, measurement of binary observable of object by measuring apparatus considered. It's shown that during the measurement these constraints obstacle the acquisition of information by , characterizing purity of ensemble. Due to it, can't discriminate pure and mixed ensembles with the same expectation value. In algebraic measurement ansatz by Emch such information loss results in stochastic measurement outcomes for pure ensemble, their probabilities obey to Born postulate, i.e. it corresponds to quantum state collapse. Account of state decoherence doesn't change obtained results principally.
