摘要
One way of obtaining a version of quantum mechanics without observers, and thus of solving the paradoxes of qantum mechanics, is to modify the Schrodinger evolution by implementing spontaneons collapses of the wave function. An explicit model of this kind was proposed in 1986 by Ghirardi, Rimini &, Weber (GRW), involving a nonlinear. stochastic evolution of the wave function. We point out how, by focusing oil the essential mathematical structure of the GRW model and a clear ontology, it can be generalized to (regularized) quantum field theories in a simple and natural way.
