Event enhanced and piecewise deterministic quantum theory or the right jump at the right place

Abstract

The purpose of Event Enhanced Quantum Theory (EEQT) is to allow for a precise meaning to the concepts of “event”, “experiment” and “measurement”. Within EEQT one obtains not only Liouville equations describing the continuous dynamics of statistical ensembles but also a unique minimal piecewise deterministic random Markov process (PDP) than can be used for computer simulations of real time series for experiments on individual quantum systems. EEQT is therefore particularly relevant to today’s experimental Quantum Physics since new technology needs new laws and its range of applications is rather wide. As an example a cloud chamber model will be discussed. In a particular, homogeneous, case this model contains GRW spontaneous localization model. All probabilistic interpretation of Standard Quantum Theory can be derived from the formalism of EEQT. Moreover EEQT has no need for observers or minds. EEQT is a precise and predictive theory not only giving enhanced answers but also inviting
