To Explain Results of Position Measurement by Self-Induced Photon Emission and Absorption
Abstract
It is proposed in this paper that without a measurement, the wave function of a system periodically transits to a bound energy eigenfunction or the complementary wave function that is orthogonal to all the bound energy eigenfunctions. Applying this assumption to analyze results of position measurement shows that when the wave function of the entangled incident object and a position detector is a linear combination of the bound energy eigenfunctions of the entangled system prior to collapses, the detection rate essentially equals the probability flux of the incident object entering the detector. When the wave function of the entangled incident object and a position detector is not a linear combination of the bound energy eigenfunctions of the entangled system, results of position measurement can also be explained by the proposed self-induced photon emission and absorption.
