Modal Interpretation of Repeated Measurement: A Rejoinder to Leeds and Healey

Abstract

A recent article argues that the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics does not do justice to immediately repeated non-disturbing measurements. This objection has been raised before, but the article presents it in a new, detailed, precise form. I show that the objection is mistaken.
