Abstract
Quantum measurement scenario plays a significant role in quantum theory. This study used these measurement principles to define an interpretation process described below. In a quantum measurement process, an observer plays a crucial role: He is the one that selects the measuring device with which he describes reality. For example, in exploring a particle, the observer may choose to measure the momentum or the particle’s location. This selection generates the following scenario: Consider a measuring device not adjusted to measure the actual observables of the measured object (for example, a location measurement of a particle with a defined momentum). In that case, a quantum collapse occurs in which the system randomly collapses into one of the measurement states defined by the device. For that scenario, we can say that the measuring instrument does not detect nature observables but interprets them according to the selected measuring device. This study presents a procedure describing this process of “quantum-like interpretation”.

This work is dedicated to my beloved son Lior who passed away at the age of 34. Lior was an individual with special needs, who had unconventional and unique interpretations of his surroundings. He is the inspiration for this study.
