Abstract

The wave function transformation of the quantum particle considered as a continuous medium was described by the evolution operator with the kernel in the form of path integral. It is shown that this approach allows considering not only Schrodinger evolution, but and the collapse phenomenon. The collapse entity is the nonlocal transformation of the quantum particle internal structure and it is not connected with its mechanical motion. Probably this fact allows the instantaneous signalling using the collapse without violating relativistic requirements.
