A change of quantum states for a quantum particle may lead to a change of physical field it exerts to the environment. We discuss such Gedankenexperiment for measuring the magnetic dipole fields associated with the electronic spins. When…

Quantum entanglement occurs not just in discrete systems such as spins, but also in the spatial wave functions of systems with more than one degree of freedom. It is easy to introduce students to entangled wave functions at an early stage,…
Mixed states of samples of spin s particles which are symmetric under permutations of the particles are described in terms of their total collective spin quantum numbers. We use this description to analyze the influence on spin squeezing…

We use a simple example to illustrate why it is not possible to consider that a measurement reveals an underlying objective reality of a property of a quantum system, that continues the same after the measurement is performed. This kind of…
