The incompatibility of dynamics postulate (unitary evolution) and the measurement postulate (wave-packet collapse) of quantum mechanics has recently been solved by Zurek from an information transfer perspective.

We also introduce the concept of sub- and super-fidelity in GPT and discuss their properties.
