How and When Quantum Phenomena Become Real

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Its Applications ((MAIA,volume 317))

Abstract

We discuss recent developments in the foundations of quantum theory with a particular emphasis on description of measurement—like couplings between classical and quantum systems. The SQUID-tank coupling is described in some details, both in terms of the Liouville equation describing statistical ensambles and piecewise deterministic random process describing random behaviour of individual systems.
