Local realism cannot impose commutative structure into noncommuting quantum observables
We formally prove the ultimate statement: Local realistic theories for quantum measurements could not impose the commutative algebraic structure into the set of all quantum observables even if all quantum statistics (including every quantum state and every observable) could be reproduced by local realistic theories. Thus, it turns out that the result, using a pair of projectors, by Malley et al...
متن کاملNoncommuting observables in quantum detection and estimation theory
In quantum detection theory the optimum detection operators must commute; admitting simultaneous approximate measurement of noncommuting observables cannot yield a lower Bayes cost. The lower bounds on mean square errors of parameter estimates predicted by the quantum-mechanical Cramer-Rao inequality can also not be reduced by such means.
متن کاملContextual values of observables in quantum measurements.
We introduce contextual values as a generalization of the eigenvalues of an observable that takes into account both the system observable and a general measurement procedure. This technique leads to a natural definition of a general conditioned average that converges uniquely to the quantum weak value in the minimal disturbance limit. As such, we address the controversy in the literature regard...
متن کاملMacroscopic observables and Lorentz violation in discrete quantum gravity
This article concerns the fate of local Lorentz invariance in quantum gravity, particularly for approaches in which a discrete structure replaces continuum spacetime. Some features of standard quantum mechanics, presented in a sum-over-histories formulation, are reviewed, and their consequences for such theories are discussed. It is argued that, if the individual histories of a theory give bad ...
متن کاملOptimal Quantum Measurements of Expectation Values of Observables
Experimental characterizations of a quantum system involve the measurement of expectation values of observables for a preparable state |ψ〉 of the quantum system. Such expectation values can be measured by repeatedly preparing |ψ〉 and coupling the system to an apparatus. For this method, the precision of the measured value scales as 1 √ N for N repetitions of the experiment. For the problem of e...
