Chapter 7 The Collapse of the Wave Function
... two different discrete values for the measurement on a given particle. It is from this observation that we know something like the collapse of the state vector happens. But what is it that makes something into a measurement? The answer is not obvious, and has led to various different interpretations ...

... since its inception. Particles correspond to unitary positive energy irreducible representations (IRs) of the Poincaré group. According to the classification of Wigner [W39] they are labeled by the mass m ≥ 0 and the spin (or helicity for m = 0) s. They are constructed as representations induced by ...
