Abstract

I have written extensively of the topic of this tutorial. But in order to reach a broad audience I have in many of my more recent works refrained from using equations. That approach makes those works accessible in principle both to readers who are repelled by equations, and also to quantum physicists who are sufficiently familiar with the details of the quantum theory of measurement to be able to fill in for themselves the omitted equations. However, that approach means also that an important class of potential readers is not being optimally reached. This class consists of persons having an engineering or mathematical background, and possessing perhaps even some familiarity with classical physics, but who have little knowledge of quantum mechanics.
