The set functions associated with Schrödinger's equation are known to be unbounded on the algebra of cylinder sets. However, there do exist examples of scalar valued set functions which are unbounded, yet σ-additive on the underlying algebra of sets. The purpose of this note is to show that the set functions associated with Schrödinger's equation are not σ-additive on cylinder sets. In the course of the proof, general conditions implying the non-σ-additivity of unbounded set functions are given.
