Intrinsic Properties of Quantum Systems

Abstract

A new realist interpretation of quantum mechanics is introduced. Quantum systems are shown to have two kinds of properties: the usual ones described by values of quantum observables, which are called extrinsic, and those that can be attributed to individual quantum systems without violating standard quantum mechanics, which are called intrinsic. The intrinsic properties are classified into structural and conditional. A systematic and self-consistent account is given. Much more statements become meaningful than any version of Copenhagen interpretation would allow. A new approach to classical properties and measurement problem is suggested. A quantum definition of classical states is proposed.Keywords Intrinsic vs. extrinsic properties of quantum systems · Structural and conditional intrinsic properties · Classicality · Classical property of quantum linear chain · Quantum measurement

Quantum Models of Classical World

“…It also introduces some general notions, such as microsystem, macrosystem, type of system and structural property following Ref. [15]. its dynamics is observed.…”

“…A large number of real objects, the so-called classical world, have as yet no satisfactory quantum models. Our own attempts [15] and [19] at constructing such models have lead to some changes in the quantum language. The first part of this review starting here is an attempt at a systematic formulation of this new language.…”

“…The relative frequency of finding y ∈ X approaches p E T (X) if N → ∞ on the set. This is equal to the probability measure given by Equation (15). Thus, the relative frequency of a measurement result for a registration on elements of an ensemble can be directly calculated from the state operator.…”

“…Such a distribution leads to a very small variance of L in Gibbs states. A lengthy calculation [15] gives for large N…”

“…First, it is true that values of observables are not objective. However, in [15], we have shown that there are other observable properties of quantum systems that can be ascribed to the systems without contradictions and there is a sufficient number of them to describe the state of the systems completely. We shall introduce and discuss this approach in Section 1.0.3. in general terms and then, in technical detail, in Section 2.1.2. .…”
