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=|xx|, 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 |xx|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.
