Abstract

A measurement apparatus influences a classical system in a deterministic way, such that, in principle, the disturbance by the measurement can approach zero, in a measurement of a quantum-mechanical system there is always a minimum amount of indeterministic disturbance of the system, connected to the amount of extractable information. This difference was discussed by Heisenberg1 in 1927 and subsequently by many authors using various gedanken experiments.
