Symmetry, reference frames, and relational quantities in quantum mechanics

L Loveridge, T Miyadera, P Busch - Foundations of Physics, 2018 - Springer
We propose that observables in quantum theory are properly understood as representatives
of symmetry-invariant quantities relating one system to another, the latter to be called a …

The norm-1-property of a quantum observable

T Heinonen, P Lahti, JP Pellonpää… - Journal of …, 2003 - pubs.aip.org
A normalized positive operator measure X⟼ E (X) has the norm-1-property if‖ E (X)‖= 1
whenever E (X)≠ O. This property reflects the fact that the measurement outcome …

Covariant fuzzy observables and coarse-graining

T Heinonen, P Lahti, K Ylinen - Reports on Mathematical Physics, 2004 - Elsevier
A fuzzy observable is regarded as a smearing of a sharp observable, and the structure of
covariant fuzzy observables is studied. It is shown that the covariant coarse-grainings of …

The Pegg-Barnett formalism and covariant phase observables

P Lahti, JP Pellonpää - Physica Scripta, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract We compare the Pegg-Barnett (PB) formalism with the covariant phase observable
approach to the problem of quantum phase and show that PB-formalism gives essentially …

Quantum measurements in the presence of symmetry

L Loveridge - 2012 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
This thesis concerns how symmetries im**e on quantum mechanical measurements, and
preclude certain self adjoint operators from representing observable quantities. After …

On the structure of covariant phase observables

JP Pellonpää - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2002 - pubs.aip.org
Covariant phase observables constitute a particular solution to the problem of quantum
phase see, eg, Ref. 1, and 2. In this article, we study general mathematical properties of …
