The Fermionic Projector, Entanglement, and the Collapse of the Wave Function
Published 2010-11-09, updated 2011-07-15Version 2
After a brief introduction to the fermionic projector approach, we review how entanglement and second quantized bosonic and fermionic fields can be described in this framework. The constructions are discussed with regard to decoherence phenomena and the measurement problem. We propose a mechanism leading to the collapse of the wave function in the quantum mechanical measurement process.
