Jan 6, 2022 at 6:41 | comment | added | Tere_TX | Ok, it makes sense. I am a complete amateur in the field, so I realise that my question was probably naive- I appreciate the help | |
Jan 4, 2022 at 16:10 | comment | added | QuantumFieldMedalist | The elements of the projection-valued measure are self-adjoint projectors in the Hilbert space onto the "approximate" eigenspaces of an operator like X. These are of the form Px=|x⟩⟨x|, where P2x=Px. That's why we make dEx more explicit by writing dEx=Pxdx. | |
Jan 4, 2022 at 8:08 | comment | added | Tere_TX | I think I got the general picture. Can you please elaborate a bit more on your sentence : "Comparison between this formula and standard quantum mechanics textbooks identifies dEx as |x⟩⟨x|dx." Or perhaps address me to some source where I can learn more about this? | |
Jan 3, 2022 at 19:19 | comment | added | Tere_TX | Many thanks! this sounds like the answer I was looking for! I will study it and possibly get back to you if you don't mind. | |
