Unsharp reality and joint measurements for spin observables
Abstract
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) reality criterion is generalized to fit with the notion of positive-operator-valued observables occurring in quantum optics, stochastic quantum mechanics, and other fields of quantum physics. The resulting concept of unsharp reality for quantum systems is illustrated within stochastic spin space where it leads to a notion of unsharp spin property. Finally we investigate the possibility of joint spin measurements and give a brief discussion of the EPR-Bell argument for unsharp spin properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
