Measurement disturbs system being observed from "summary" of The Principles of Quantum Mechanics by P. A. M. Dirac
According to the principles of quantum mechanics, the act of measurement has a fundamental impact on the system being observed. This concept challenges our classical intuitions about measurement, as it suggests that the mere act of observing a quantum system can disturb its state. In classical physics, the act of measurement is seen as a passive process that simply reveals the pre-existing properties of the system. However, in the quantum realm, measurement is an active process that interacts with the system in a way that alters its state. This phenomenon is known as the "measurement disturbance" and is a key feature of quantum mechanics. The implications of the meas...
