Wave function collapse
... The conceptual differences between von Neumann’s first and second interventions have led to many interpretational problems. In standard quantum theory the collapse of the wave function is associated with the measurement but the moment of its occurrence (the “Heisenberg cut”) can be anywhere between ...
