Abstract
A theorem is proved which allows one to construct the most general known class of sensitive observables, namely of those observables whose expectation value is measurably different according to whether the system is described quantum-mechanically with a state vector of the first type (proper mixture) or with a state vector of the second type (improper mixture). Our result should be of interest for the experimental observation of the hypothetical spontaneous reduction of nonfactorizable state vectors. © 1977 Società Italiana di Fisica.File in questo prodotto:
