INTERFERENCE, NONCOMMUTATIVITY, AND DETERMINATENESS IN QUANTUM-MECHANICS

I consider to what extent the phenomenon of interference precludes the possibility of attributing simultaneously determinate values to noncommuting observables, and I show that, while all observables can in principle be taken as simultaneously determinate, it suffices to take a suitable privileged observable as determinate to solve the measurement problem. © 1995 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
