In this second volume on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics we
shall show how it is possible, using the methodology presented in
Volume I, to deduce some of the most important applications of
quantum mechanics. These deductions are concerned with the
structures of the micro systems rather than the technical details
of the construction of preparation and registration devices.
Accordingly, the only new axioms (relative to Volume I) which are
introduced are concerned with the relationship between ensemble
operators W, effect operators F, and certain construction
principles of the preparation and registration devices. The
applications described here are concerned with the measurement of
atomic and molecular structure and of collision experiments. An
additional and essential step towards a theoretical description of
the preparation and registration procedures is carried out in
Chapter XVII. Here we demonstrate how microscopic collision
processes (that is, processes which can be described by quantum
mechanics) can be used to obtain novel preparation and registration
procedures if we take for granted the knowledge of only a few
macroscopic preparation and registration procedures. By clever use
of collision processes we are often able to obtain very precise
results for the operators Wand F which describe the total
procedures from a very imprecise knowledge of the macroscopic parts
of the preparation and regis tration processes. In this regard
experimental physicists have done brilliant work. In this sense
Chapter XVII represents a general theoretical foundation for the
procedures used by experimental physicists."
