Path summation and quantum measurements
  We propose a general theoretical approach to quantum measurements based on the path (histories) summation technique. For a given dynamical variable A, the Schr\"odinger state of a system in a Hilbert space of arbitrary dimensionality is decomposed into a set of substates, each of which corresponds to a particular detailed history of the system. The coherence between the substates may then be destroyed by meter(s) to a degree determined by the nature and the accuracy of the measurement(s) which may be of von Neumann, finite-time or continuous type. Transformations between the histories obtained for non-commuting variables and construction of simultaneous histories for non-commuting observables are discussed. Important cases of a particle described by Feynman paths in the coordinate space and a qubit in a two dimensional Hilbert space are studied in some detail.
