| Mar 11, 2022 at 5:42 | comment | added | march | "the action of an observable operator on a quantum state is a projection into one of the operator's eigenstate". I mean, no, that's not what the action of the operator on the quantum state does. The action of the operator corresponding to the observable has basically nothing to do with the measurement of that observable. You have to define the projection operators onto the eigen-subspaces of the observable separately, and it is the action of those projection operators that makes up the measurement process. | |
