| Jun 2, 2012 at 20:29 | comment | added | qoqosz | Thanks, but I find linked problem a tiny bit different. Before any measurement process the ground state $|0\rangle$ mixes with excited one giving $a_0 |0\rangle + a_1 |1 \rangle$. I understand that such a mixing during measurement process can result in gaining energy from aparatus. But here theory predicts some gain in energy before this act. | |
