Gianfranco (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==4. Quantum instruments from the scheme of indirect measurements== The basic model for construction of quantum instruments is based on the scheme of indirect measurements. This scheme formalizes the following situation: measurement’s outputs are generated via interaction of a system <math>S</math> with a measurement apparatus <math>M</math> . This apparatus consists of a complex physical device interacting with <math>S</math> and a pointer that shows the result of me...") |
