On the Sharpness and Bias of Quantum Effects

Mathematical Physics 2010-04-20 v2 math.MP Quantum Physics

Abstract

The question of quantifying the sharpness (or unsharpness) of a quantum mechanical effect is investigated. Apart from sharpness, another property, bias, is found to be relevant for the joint measurability or coexistence of two effects. Measures of bias will be defined and examples given.
