Mar 13, 2021 at 20:58 comment added amilton moreira ok thank you for your time
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:56 comment added Cosmas Zachos Oh, I liked an answer in my answer...
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:53 comment added amilton moreira @ Cosmas Zacho Would you give me any reference for your last comment?
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:49 comment added Cosmas Zachos Indeed, the detector itself is circumscribed by the uncertainty principle. It it is an intelligent squeezed state, it won't be accurate as a detector for detecting your state...
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:46 comment added amilton moreira @ Cosmas Zachos What i mean is you said that Detectors are so huge in ℏ terms, that they are circumscribed by the uncertainty. If we could construct a detector small enough than would this pose any restriction to a particle to have zero momentum
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:39 comment added Cosmas Zachos Oh, conventionally we call detectors those macroscopic objects which couple to quantum states and decohere their wavefunctions. But you may keep thinking...
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:38 comment added amilton moreira @ Cosmas Zachos What about if we could construct a detector small enough ?

Mar 13, 2021 at 20:16 comment added Cosmas Zachos Experimentally? Detectors are so huge in $\hbar$ terms, that they are circumscribed by the uncertainty principle for sure.
Mar 13, 2021 at 20:06 comment added amilton moreira You gave me a good answer theoretically but what about experimentally. According to your answer the wave function is well delocalized. But if we detect a particle with 0 momentum it will remain in the detector which is not delocalized
