A generic model for quantum measurements
Abstract
In previous articles we presented a derivation of Born's rule and unitary transforms in Quantum Mechanics (QM), from a simple set of axioms built upon a physical phenomenology of quantization. Physically, the structure of QM results of an interplay between the quantized number of "modalities" accessible to a quantum system, and the continuum of "contexts" required to define these modalities. In the present article we provide a unified picture of quantum measurements within our approach, and justify further the role of the system-context dichotomy, and of quantum interferences. We also discuss links with stochastic quantum thermodynamics, and with algebraic quantum theory.
