Quantum non ideal measurements

Abstract

We analyse non ideal quantum measurements described as scattering processes providing an estimator of the measured quantity. The sensitivity is expressed as an equivalent input noise. We address the Von Neumann problem of chained measurements and show the crucial role of preamplification.
