论文摘要
描述了埃弗里特的量子力学相对状态公式中观察到的过渡速率（衰减率）与激发状态衰减的时间的模拟，并描述了埃弗里特公式的类似deWitt的延伸。结果表明，埃弗里特的形式主义不足以描述激动的状态衰变，而trium寿命测量结果排除了所有合理的类似dewitt的扩展。此外，比较简单原子的激发电子状态的生命周期测量和第一原理计算将类似Everett的扩展限制为这些原子的效果很小。
Simulations of the observed transition rate (decay rate) versus time for excited-state decay in Everett's relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics and DeWitt-like extension of Everett's formulation are described. It is shown that Everett's formalism is not general enough to describe excited-state decay, and that tritium lifetime measurements rule out all plausible DeWitt-like extensions. Furthermore, comparison of lifetime measurements and first-principles calculations of excited electronic states of simple atoms limit Everett-like extensions to a small effect for these atoms.
