核心定理

定理 T3-2(量子测量的必然坍缩)

QuantumMeasurementCollapse : Prop ≡
∀ψ : StateVector . ∀M̂ : MeasurementOperator . ∀k : MeasurementOutcome .
Measure(M̂, ψ) = k →
ψ' = (P̂ₖψ) / √⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩

where
MeasurementOperator : Hermitian operator representing observable
P̂ₖ : Projection operator for measurement outcome k
ψ' : Post-measurement state (collapsed)

自指性的测量要求

引理 T3-2.1(自指观测的信息约束)

SelfReferentialObservationConstraint : Prop ≡
∀S : SelfRefCompleteSystem . ∀O : Observer .
(O ∈ S) ∧ Observes(O, S) →
∃info : Information . Extracted(info, S, O) ∧ Irreversible(info)

where
Extracted(info, S, O) : Observer O extracts information from system S
Irreversible(info) : Information extraction cannot be undone

证明

Proof of self-referential observation constraint:
1. By D1-1: System S must describe itself completely
2. Observer O is part of S, so O must update S's self-description
3. Before observation: S has description D(S)
4. After observation: S has description D'(S) ≠ D(S)
5. Information I = D'(S) - D(S) is extracted by O
6. By L1-8: This process is irreversible
7. Therefore: Information extraction is constrained by irreversibility ∎

信息提取的量化

引理 T3-2.2(测量的信息增益)

MeasurementInformationGain : Prop ≡
∀ψ : StateVector . ∀M̂ : MeasurementOperator .
InfoGain(M̂, ψ) = H_measurement(M̂, ψ)

where
H_measurement(M̂, ψ) : Shannon entropy of measurement outcomes
H_measurement(M̂, ψ) = -Σₖ P(k) log P(k)
P(k) = ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ : Born rule probabilities
P̂ₖ : Projection operators for measurement M̂

证明

Proof of information gain formula:
1. Before measurement: Observer has no knowledge of outcome
2. Measurement yields outcome k with probability P(k) = ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩
3. Information gained = reduction in observer's uncertainty
4. Observer's uncertainty = Shannon entropy of outcome distribution
5. H_measurement = -Σₖ P(k) log P(k)
6. After measurement: Observer knows definite outcome (entropy = 0)
7. Therefore: InfoGain = H_measurement - 0 = H_measurement ∎

投影算符的必然构造

引理 T3-2.3(测量算符的谱分解)

MeasurementSpectralDecomposition : Prop ≡
∀M̂ : MeasurementOperator .
M̂ = Σₖ λₖP̂ₖ ∧
(∀k,j : k ≠ j → P̂ₖP̂ⱼ = 0) ∧
(Σₖ P̂ₖ = Î)

where
λₖ : Eigenvalue corresponding to measurement outcome k
P̂ₖ : Projection operator onto eigenspace k
Î : Identity operator

证明

Proof of spectral decomposition necessity:
1. By T3-1: Measurement operators are Hermitian
2. Hermitian operators have real eigenvalues λₖ
3. Eigenspaces are orthogonal: ⟨λₖ|λⱼ⟩ = δₖⱼ
4. Projection operators: P̂ₖ = Σᵢ|λₖⁱ⟩⟨λₖⁱ| (sum over degenerate states)
5. Orthogonality: P̂ₖP̂ⱼ = δₖⱼP̂ₖ
6. Completeness: Σₖ P̂ₖ = Î (resolution of identity)
7. Therefore: M̂ = Σₖ λₖP̂ₖ is the unique decomposition ∎

波函数坍缩的必然性

引理 T3-2.4(测量的状态更新规则)

MeasurementStateUpdate : Prop ≡
∀ψ : StateVector . ∀P̂ₖ : ProjectionOperator .
PostMeasurementState(ψ, k) =
if ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ > 0 then (P̂ₖψ)/√⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ else undefined

where
PostMeasurementState : State after measurement with outcome k
⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ : Probability of obtaining outcome k

证明

Proof of state update necessity:
1. Before measurement: ψ = Σⱼ cⱼ|ψⱼ⟩ (general superposition)
2. Measurement projects onto eigenspace k: P̂ₖψ = Σⱼ∈Sₖ cⱼ|ψⱼ⟩
3. Probability of outcome k: P(k) = ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ = Σⱼ∈Sₖ |cⱼ|²
4. If P(k) > 0, measurement outcome k is possible
5. Post-measurement: only components in subspace k survive
6. Normalization required: ψ' = P̂ₖψ/√P(k)
7. This ensures ⟨ψ'|ψ'⟩ = 1 and ψ' ∈ eigenspace k ∎

概率的涌现机制

引理 T3-2.5(Born规则的导出)

BornRuleEmergence : Prop ≡
∀ψ : StateVector . ∀M̂ : MeasurementOperator .
P(outcome = k) = ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ ∧
ExpectationValue(M̂) = ⟨ψ|M̂|ψ⟩ = Σₖ λₖP(k)

where
P(outcome = k) : Probability of measuring eigenvalue λₖ
ExpectationValue : Expected value of observable M̂

证明

Proof of Born rule derivation:
1. State expansion: |ψ⟩ = Σₖ Σᵢ cₖᵢ|λₖⁱ⟩
2. Projection: P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ = Σᵢ cₖᵢ|λₖⁱ⟩
3. Probability: P(k) = ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩ = Σᵢ |cₖᵢ|²
4. Expectation: ⟨M̂⟩ = ⟨ψ|Σⱼ λⱼP̂ⱼ|ψ⟩ = Σⱼ λⱼP(j)
5. This reproduces standard quantum mechanics
6. Probabilities emerge from φ-representation coefficients ∎

主定理证明

定理:量子测量坍缩

MainTheorem : Prop ≡
QuantumMeasurementCollapse

证明

Proof of quantum measurement collapse:
Given: Self-referentially complete system with quantum state |ψ⟩

1. By Lemma T3-2.1: Measurement extracts irreversible information
2. By Lemma T3-2.2: Information gain requires entropy reduction
3. By Lemma T3-2.3: Measurement operator has spectral decomposition
4. By Lemma T3-2.4: Post-measurement state must be normalized projection
5. By Lemma T3-2.5: Probabilities follow Born rule

Sequence of measurement:
a) Initial state: |ψ⟩ = Σₖ Σᵢ cₖᵢ|λₖⁱ⟩
b) Measurement operator: M̂ = Σₖ λₖP̂ₖ
c) Outcome k occurs with probability P(k) = ⟨ψ|P̂ₖ|ψ⟩
d) State collapses: |ψ'⟩ = P̂ₖ|ψ⟩/√P(k)

Therefore: Quantum measurement necessarily causes wavefunction collapse ∎

物理解释和含义

推论 T3-2.1(测量问题的解决)

MeasurementProblemResolution : Prop ≡
QuantumMeasurementCollapse →
∀ψ : SuperpositionState .
MeasurementProcess(ψ) ≡ InformationExtractionProcess(ψ)

where
MeasurementProcess : Quantum measurement with collapse
InformationExtractionProcess : Self-referential information gain

证明

Proof of measurement problem resolution:
1. "Measurement problem" asks: why does superposition become definite?
2. T3-2 shows: self-referential information extraction requires collapse
3. Observer gaining information ≡ system updating self-description
4. Self-description update ≡ state reduction (irreversible)
5. Therefore: measurement collapse is not mysterious but necessary ∎
