... (We are not following factors of 2 or π at this point.) A question that has been studied ever since Heisenberg’s original paper is whether a precise inequality can be established for the case where actual measurements are made on a quantum system. As of October, 2013, this has not been definitively s ...

... this is atomism. In words, no matter how the system was prepared (how mixed), when you perform a measurement you will always measure a discrete value that is an eigenvalue of the observable. You can have one Barium atom. Or one Yterbium atom. Your state can be an admixture of the two, but it is not ...

... *Side note 1 - if we hadn’t taken cm = 1/N we would have gotten an ellipsoid instead of a sphere, yet our results still would have been valid, as explained in [1]. P *Side note 2 - taking N to be finitie is justified by the fact that |cm |2 = 1, thus we can find N for which this sum (truncated at N) ...

... there is a state ψ such that Aψ = aψ, then in such an eigenstate of A a measurement of A is certain to yield the value a. Such a situation is commonly described by saying that observable A has a definite value if the state of the system is an eigenstate of A. The generic situation in quantum mechani ...
