Abstract: | For studying the problem of measurement we accept the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics, but we take into account, that in a sequence of measurements, offdiagonal terms arise which cannot obviously be interpreted as the probability of a sequence of macroscopic events. We demonstrate, however, their vanishing for ordinary measurement processes by observing that the measurement apparatus undergoes a symmetry breaking transition during the measurement.1.
