On consistency of quantum theory and macroscopic objectivity
Quant. Inf. Comput. vol. 4, pp. 513-525 (2004)

Abstract:

We argue that the consistency problem between quantum theory and macroscopic objectivity must be placed inside a quantum description of macroscopic non-equilibrium systems. Resorting to thermodynamic concepts inside quantum field theory seems to be necessary.
