    A short note about the dynamical description of the measurement process in quantum physics

    The measurement process of observables in a quantum system comes out to be an unsovable problem which started in the early times of the development of the theory. In the present note we consider the measured system part of an open system interacting with the measuring device and show under which ideal conditions the measure process may ideally work. Our procedure leads to the conclusion that there is no hope that any experimental procedure will be able to lead to a clean solution of the process, except maybe in very specific cases. The reasons for this situation are deeply rooted in the fundamental properties of quantum theory.Comment: 6 page

    Reformulating the NMR Quantum Mechanics Fundamental Aspects: Spin 1/2 Evolution in Magnetic Field Gradients

    Full text link
    Magnetization of a spin1/2 set is determined by means of their individual wave function. The theoretical treatment based on the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics and solving explicitly Schr\"odinger equation gives the evolution of spin1/2 system driven by magnetic fields. In this work we consider the energy of the spin system interacting with magnetic fields and all the other parts of the energy as a constant reservoir. Solving this complete Hamiltonian can explain the measured sign change of nuclear spin noise spectra compared to conventional NMR experiments and the possibility to make NMR images without radio frequency magnetic fields. The possibility to make NMR images without RF magnetic fields is an indication that entangled spin1/2 states can be manipulated by magnetic field gradients, opening a new way to perform quantum computation by NMR.Comment: 27 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1504.0488
