Abstract
The measurement process of observables in a quantum system comes out to be an unsovable problem which started in the early times of the development of the theory. In the present note we consider the measured system part of an open system interacting with the measuring device and show under which ideal conditions the measure process may ideally work. Our procedure leads to the conclusion that there is no hope that any experimental procedure will be able to lead to a clean solution of the process, except maybe in very specific cases. The reasons for this situation are deeply rooted in the fundamental properties of quantum theory.
