We introduce a new form of quantum selective measurement in which the von Neumann projection postulate is replaced by quasilinear evolution, governed by a nonlinear generalization of the von Neumann equation... it preserves the equivalence of quantum ensembles and, consequently, satisfies the no-signalling principle.
The specific nonlinear generalization of the von Neumann equation is assumed to preserve ensemble equivalence and no-signaling without additional constraints or post-selection, as stated in the abstract without derivation details.
Quasilinear evolution replaces von Neumann projection for selective measurements, providing continuous state reduction without collapse while satisfying no-signaling and Born rule.
