Objectivism and Irreversibility in Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v4

Abstract

A hypothetical formulation of quantum mechanics is presented so as to reconcile it with macro-realism. On the analogy drawn from thermodynamics, an objective description of wave packet reduction is postulated, in which a characteristic energy scale and a time scale are introduced to separate the quantum and classical conceptions.
