Work
In "The number of states of a quantum system" (Physics Essays, vol. 6, no. 3, pp. 380–383, 1993) Orfanopoulos argues that the measurability and the definability of a concept are commonly confused in quantum mechanics, and concludes that a quantum system may exist in more than one state. The paper is cited in bibliographies of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics.
