Restrictions on Information Transfer in Quantum Measurements and State Collapse

Quantum Physics 2007-06-28 v2

Abstract

Information-theoretical restrictions on the information transfer in quantum measurements are studied. They are derived for the measurement of system S by detector D, registrated and processed by information system O. The formalism of inference maps in Hilbert space is used for it; it permit to calculate O restricted state which contains available for O information on S parameters. It's shown that the principal information losses, inevitable in this formalism and induced by Heisenberg commutation relations, stipulate the stochasticity of measurement outcomes, registrated by O in the individual events.
