Resumen

In 1933, Bohr and Rosenfeld published a seminal paper in which they claimed to solve the measurement problem of the free quantum electromagnetic field. In 1951, however, Corinaldesi discovered, in the analysis of the above-mentioned authors, an error in the order of magnitude of a certain critical field. This paper shows, through a comparative analysis between the results of Bohr and Rosenfeld and Corinaldesi, that the error discovered by the latter does not affect the conclusions of the former. It is also possible to consider as a deficiency of their work the fact that Bohr and Rosenfeld never responded to the mistake found by Corinaldesi. It will be shown here that in fact Bohr and Rosenfeld studied a measurement situation, the problem of which was equal to the one that would be originated if the correction of Corinaldesi were taken into account.
