If so, then their definition is fine, but different from the one I used. I used a definition natural to a naive experimentalist, for whom the measurement is a procedure that would correspond to a standard notion of measurement of classical quantities.atyy said:Yes, what definition are you using? If I understand correctly, these papers define an accurate measurement of A as one that produces the same distribution of outcomes as a projective measurement of A.
Clearly, there are well defined procedures for simultaneous measurement of classical quantities such as position and momentum. Whatever such a procedure is, a naive experimentalist may apply the same procedure to ANY system (classical or not) and see what he will get.
