The evolution a system undergoes when you measure it in the Copenhagen interpretation does not follow the schrodinger equation, that's his point.

- nyssos 2y agoThey're talking about what the Copenhagen interpretation predicts, not what actually happens. It's a mathematical question, not an experimental one. Solutions to the Schrodinger equation all take the form `Psi(t) = U(t)Psi(0)` for some unitary operator `U`. "Collapse" applies a projection operator, which is nonunitary.
