Baculometry appears to merely be one archaic form of measurement, which would be best merged here. BD2412 T 03:36, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
Measurement conversion table 96.43.180.121 ( talk) 20:50, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
I know that quantum measurement is contentious so I want to say a bit more about my edits of this section.
I removed sentence: Before a measurement is made, a quantum system is simultaneously described by all values in a range of possible values,
This is not correct as can be seen by reading the rest of the paragraph. Measuring a quantum state puts the system in a new state corresponding to the value measured. So obviously then it is obviously not in a state with "all values".
I replaced it with some content derived from and referenced to A. Messiah's book, that addresses the same concept in a more correct way.
I also moved the last sentence up and connected it to the one on "collapse". Penrose, cited in the article talks about both sentences so now the missing citation tag is not needed. Johnjbarton ( talk) 15:31, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
