چکیده
It is by now well-recognised that the na\"ive application of projection postulate on composite quantum systems can induce signalling between their constituent components, indicative a breakdown causality in relativistic spacetime context. Here we introduce necessary and sufficient condition for an ideal measurement observable to be non-signalling. As well as being particularly simple, it generalises previous no-signalling conditions allows degeneracies applied all bounded self-adjoint operators. The used establish arbitrary sums local observables will not signal, accordance with our expectations from field theory. On other hand, shown tensor product commuting observables, example bipartite operators form $A\otimes B$, fact contrary widely-held belief such measurements are always locally realisable. implications notion theory addressed; appears most straightforward standard formalism generically leads violations causality. We conclude either class measured should restricted and/or translation framework theory, particular postulate, re-evaluated.

Impossible Measurements on Quantum Fields*
It is shown that the attempt to extend the notion of ideal measurement to quantum field theory leads to a conflict with locality, because (for most observables) the state vector reduction associated with an ideal measurement acts to transmit information faster than light. Two examples of such information-transfer are given, first in the quantum mechanics of a pair of coupled subsystems, and the...
متن کاملSingle Phase AC Measurements Revisited
DID YOU KNOW ? Charles Proteus Steinmetz (1855-1923) was born in Breslau, Germany, the son of a railway worker. His political activity forced him to flee Germany. He came to America and was soon employed by General Electric to head up their research facility. He was referred to as “the wizard of Schenectady”, “the forger of thunderbolts”, and “the latter-day Vulcan”. Harvard University said of ...
متن کاملAsymmetry measurements at LEP / SLC revisited
We examine the fermion asymmetry measurements at LEP and SLC leading to effective weak mixing angle, sin e . We notice very interesting regularity in these measurements. All asymmetry measurements fall in two classes. Class A measurements where hadronisation e ects are not relevant for the nal result and class B measurements where hadronisation e ects can not be avoided and can only be correcte...
متن کاملQUICKSELECT Revisited
We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.
متن کاملContributing to Overall Life Satisfaction: Personality Traits Versus Life Satisfaction Variables Revisited—Is Replication Impossible?
Virtually everybody would agree that life satisfaction is of immense importance in everyday life. Thus, it is not surprising that a considerable amount of research using many different methodological approaches has investigated what the best predictors of life satisfaction are. In the present study, we have focused on several key potential influences on life satisfaction including bottom-up and...
