Authors: Simone Del Vecchio, J\"urg Fr\"ohlich, Alessandro Pizzo, Alessio Ranallo
Abstract summary: The first one clarifies and amends von Neumann's Measurement Postulate used in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The second one clarifies the relationship between events'' and measurements'' and the meaning of measurements in the $ETH$-Approach to quantum mechanics.

Abstract: Two theorems with applications to the quantum theory of measurements are stated and proven. The first one clarifies and amends von Neumann's Measurement Postulate used in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The second one clarifies the relationship between ``events'' and ``measurements'' and the meaning of measurements in the $ETH$-Approach to quantum mechanics.

Decoherence and Quantum Measurement: The Missing Lecture [0.21320960069210473]
We give an elementary account of quantum measurement and related topics from the modern perspective of decoherence. The discussion should be comprehensible to students who have completed a basic course in quantum mechanics with exposure to concepts such as Hilbert space, density matrices, and von Neumann projection.
