Position measuring interactions and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

An indirect measurement model is constructed for an approximately repeatable, precise position measuring apparatus that violates the assertion, sometimes called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, that any position measuring apparatus with noise epsilon brings the momentum disturbance no less than hbar/2epsilon in any input state of the apparatus.

5 pages, REVTeX. Revised to include an argument showing that the model violates Heisenberg uncertainty principle without paying the price of abandoning the repeatability requirement
