Should recombinations of radical pairs be considered as accompanied by measurements?

Quantum Physics 2013-04-24 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

The so-called "phenomenological" kinetic equation for one-pair density operator for spin-selective reactions is defended. We derive this equation from the kinetic equation for density operator of all pairs which are treated as singlet and triplet bosons. There presented some reasons for inconsistency of measurement-like approach to the problem.
