Toward a quantum theory of observation
Foundations of Physics 3 (1):109-116 (1973)
Abstract
The program of a physical concept of information is outlined in the framework of quantum theory. A proposal is made for how to avoid the intuitive introduction of observables. The conventional and the Everett interpretations in principle may lead to different dynamical consequences. An ensemble description occurs without the introduction of an abstract concept of informationLinks
