Abstract
A generalized Schrödinger equation for describing irreversible processes is introduced. It reveals that the wave function probability for an open system is not necessarily conservative, and enables a number of irreversible kinetic equations to be derived. One example in the field of quantum measurement is presented-the problem of wave function collapse with the example of using oscillators as measurement device.
