| Indeterminacy in measurement was not an innovation of quantum mechanics, since it had been established early on by experimentalists that [[Observational error|errors]] in measurement may lead to indeterminate outcomes. However, by the later half of the eighteenth century, measurement errors were well understood and it was known that they could either be reduced by better equipment or accounted for by statistical error models. In quantum mechanics, however, [[Uncertainty principle|indeterminacy]] is of a much more fundamental nature, having nothing to do with errors or disturbance.
| |
| | |
| ==Measurement==
| |
| An adequate account of quantum indeterminacy requires a theory of measurement. Many theories have been proposed since the beginning of [[quantum mechanics]] and [[quantum measurement]] continues to be an active research area in both theoretical and experimental physics.<ref>V. Braginski and F. Khalili, ''Quantum Measurements'', Cambridge University Press, 1992.</ref> Possibly the first systematic attempt at a mathematical theory was developed by [[John von Neumann]]. The kind of measurements he investigated are now called projective measurements. That theory was based in turn on the theory of [[projection-valued measure]]s for [[self-adjoint operator]]s which had been recently developed (by von Neumann and independently by [[Marshall Stone]]) and the [[mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics|Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics]] (attributed by von Neumann to [[Paul Dirac]]).
| |
| | |
| In this formulation, the state of a physical system corresponds to a [[Vector (geometry)|vector]] of length 1 in a [[Hilbert space]] ''H'' over the [[complex number]]s. An observable is represented by a self-adjoint (i.e. [[Hermitian operator|Hermitian]]) operator ''A'' on ''H''. If ''H'' is finite [[Vector space dimension|dimensional]], by the [[spectral theorem]], ''A'' has an [[orthonormal basis]] of [[eigenvector]]s. If the system is in state ψ, then immediately after measurement the system will occupy a state which is an eigenvector ''e'' of ''A'' and the observed value λ will be the corresponding eigenvalue of the equation ''A'' ''e'' = λ ''e''. It is immediate from this that measurement in general will be non-deterministic. Quantum mechanics, moreover, gives a recipe for computing a probability distribution Pr on the possible outcomes given the initial system state is ψ. The probability is
| |
| | |
| :<math> \operatorname{Pr}(\lambda)= \langle \operatorname{E}(\lambda) \psi \mid \psi \rangle </math>
| |
| | |
| where E(λ) is the projection onto the space of eigenvectors of ''A'' with eigenvalue λ.
| |
| | |
| ===Example===
| |
| | |
| <div style="float:right; width:324px; padding:2px; margin-left:10px; text-align:center">

| [[Image:PauliSpinStateSpace.png]] | |
| <br> [[Bloch sphere]] showing eigenvectors for Pauli Spin matrices. The Bloch sphere is a two-dimensional surface the points of which correspond to the state space of a spin 1/2 particle. At the state ψ the values of σ<sub>1</sub> are +1 whereas the values of σ<sub>2</sub> and σ<sub>3</sub> take the values +1, -1 with probability 1/2.
| |
| </div>
| |
| In this example, we consider a single [[Spin-1/2|spin 1/2]] [[Elementary particle|particle]] (such as an electron) in which we only consider the spin degree of freedom. The corresponding Hilbert space is the two-dimensional complex Hilbert space '''C'''<sup>2</sup>, with each quantum state corresponding to a unit vector in '''C'''<sup>2</sup> (unique up to phase). In this case, the state space can be geometrically represented as the surface of a sphere, as shown in the figure on the right.

| |

| |
| \quad
| |
| \sigma_3 =

| \begin{pmatrix}
| |
| 1&0\\
| |
| 0&-1
| |
| \end{pmatrix}
| |
| </math>
| |
| are [[self-adjoint]] and correspond to spin-measurements along the 3 coordinate axes.
| |
| | |
| The Pauli matrices all have the eigenvalues +1, −1.
| |
| * For σ<sub>1</sub>, these eigenvalues correspond to the eigenvectors
| |
| ::<math> \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (1,1), \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (1,-1) </math>
| |
| * For σ<sub>3</sub>, they correspond to the eigenvectors
| |
| ::<math> (1, 0), (0,1) \quad </math>
| |
| | |
| Thus in the state
| |
| :<math> \psi=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (1,1), </math>
| |
| σ<sub>1</sub> has the determinate value +1, while measurement of σ<sub>3</sub> can produce either +1, −1 each with probability 1/2. In fact, there is no state in which measurement of both σ<sub>1</sub> and σ<sub>3</sub> have determinate values.
| |
| | |
| There are various questions that can be asked about the above indeterminacy assertion.
| |
| # Can the apparent indeterminacy be construed as in fact deterministic, but dependent upon quantities not modeled in the current theory, which would therefore be incomplete? More precisely, are there ''hidden variables'' that could account for the statistical indeterminacy in a completely classical way?
| |
| # Can the indeterminacy be understood as a disturbance of the system being measured?
| |
| Von Neumann formulated the question 1) and provided an argument why the answer had to be no, ''if'' one accepted the formalism he was proposing. However according to Bell, von Neumann's formal proof did not justify his informal conclusion.<ref>J.S. Bell, ''Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics'', Cambridge University Press, 2004, pg. 5.</ref> A definitive but partial negative answer to 1) has been established by experiment: because [[Bell's inequalities]] are violated, any such hidden variable(s) cannot be ''local'' (see [[Bell test experiments]]).
| |
| | |
| The answer to 2) depends on how disturbance is understood, particularly since measurement entails disturbance (however note that this is the [[Observer effect (physics)|observer effect]], which is distinct from the uncertainty principle). Still, in the most natural interpretation the answer is also no. To see this, consider two sequences of measurements: (A) which measures exclusively σ<sub>1</sub> and (B) which measures only σ<sub>3</sub> of a spin system in the
| |
| state ψ. The measurement outcomes of (A) are all +1, while the statistical distribution of the measurements (B) is still divided between +1, −1 with equal probability.
| |
| | |
| ===Other examples of indeterminacy===
| |
| [[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|thumb|right|300px|Wikipedia’s current logo shows an "indeterminacy" as there are "always some [[puzzle|puzzle pieces]] missing"]]
| |
| | |
| Quantum indeterminacy can also be illustrated in terms of a particle with a definitely measured momentum for which there must be a fundamental limit to how precisely its location can be specified. This quantum uncertainty principle can be expressed in terms of other variables, for example, a particle with a definitely measured energy has a fundamental limit to how precisely one can specify how long it will have that energy.
| |
| The units involved in quantum uncertainty are on the order of [[Planck's constant]] (found experimentally to be 6.6 x 10<sup>−34</sup> J·s).
| |
| | |
| ==Indeterminacy and incompleteness==
| |
| Quantum indeterminacy is the assertion that the state of a system does not determine a unique collection of values for all its measurable properties. Indeed, according to the [[Kochen-Specker theorem]], in the quantum mechanical formalism it is impossible that, for a given quantum state, each one of these measurable properties ([[observable]]s) has a determinate (sharp) value. The values of an observable will be obtained non-deterministically in accordance with a probability distribution which is uniquely determined by the system state. Note that the state is destroyed by measurement, so when we refer to a collection of values, each measured value in this collection must be obtained using a freshly prepared state.
| |
| | |
| This indeterminacy might be regarded as a kind of essential incompleteness in our description of a physical system. Notice however, that the indeterminacy as stated above only applies to values of measurements not to the quantum state. For example, in the spin 1/2 example discussed above, the system can be prepared in the state ψ by using measurement of σ<sub>1</sub> as a ''filter'' which retains only those particles such that σ<sub>1</sub> yields +1. By the von Neumann (so-called) postulates, immediately after the measurement the system is assuredly in the state ψ.
| |
| | |
| However, Einstein did believe that quantum state cannot be a complete description of a physical system and, it is commonly thought, never came to terms with quantum mechanics. In fact, Einstein, [[Boris Podolsky]] and [[Nathan Rosen]] did show that if quantum mechanics is correct, then the classical view of how the real world works (at least after special relativity) is no longer tenable. This view included the following two ideas:
| |
| # A measurable property of a physical system whose value can be predicted with certainty is actually an element of reality (this was the terminology used by [[EPR paradox|EPR]]).
| |
| # Effects of local actions have a finite propagation speed.
| |
| This failure of the classical view was one of the conclusions of the EPR [[thought experiment]] in which two remotely located [[observation|observers]], now commonly referred to as [[Alice and Bob]], perform independent measurements of spin on a pair of electrons, prepared at a source in a special state called a [[spin singlet]] state. It was a conclusion of EPR, using the formal apparatus of quantum theory, that once Alice measured spin in the ''x'' direction, Bob's measurement in the ''x'' direction was determined with certainty, whereas immediately before Alice's measurement Bob's outcome was only statistically determined. From this it follows that either value of spin in the ''x'' direction is not an element of reality or that the effect of Alice's measurement has infinite speed of propagation.
| |
| | |
| ==Indeterminacy for mixed states==
| |
| | |
| We have described indeterminacy for a quantum system which is in a [[pure state]]. [[Mixed state (physics)|Mixed state]]s are a more general kind of state obtained by a statistical mixture of pure states. For mixed states
| |
| the "quantum recipe" for determining the probability distribution of a measurement is determined as follows: | |
| | |
| Let ''A'' be an observable of a quantum mechanical system. ''A'' is given by a densely
| |
| defined self-adjoint operator on ''H''. The [[spectral measure]] of ''A'' is a projection-valued measure defined by the condition
| |
| :<math> \operatorname{E}_A(U) = \int_U \lambda d \operatorname{E}(\lambda), </math>
| |
| for every Borel subset ''U'' of '''R'''. Given a mixed state ''S'', we introduce the ''distribution'' of ''A'' under ''S'' as follows:
| |
| :<math> \operatorname{D}_A(U) =
| |
| \operatorname{Tr}(\operatorname{E}_A(U) S). </math>
| |
| This is a probability measure defined on the Borel subsets of '''R'''
| |
| which is the probability distribution obtained by measuring ''A'' in
| |
| ''S''.
