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 | |
