Abstract
In discussing problems of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, it has been repeatedly mentioned that, following von Neumann’s (1955) axiomatization and that of other authors, the measuring process is reduced to rules which bring about only a formal relationship between certain elements of quantum formalism and certain states of the measuring instrument. It is sometimes stressed, first, that one should follow Bohr and Heisenberg and analyse the interaction between the microscopic object system and the measuring instrument and, second, that the macroscopic nature of the measuring device should be taken into consideration (cf., e.g., de Muynck, 1984).
