Ok, so, can anyone point me to an accessible text on how exactly
how
the measurements are made, all the way through setting up the
experiment, describing what happens, and then ending up with the
numbers?
Irrelevant. This is true for *all* possible measurements.
This follows simply from the wave-particle duality - but can also be
shown more mathematically from Heisenberg's commutation relation
(which is an axiom of QM).
What do you mean irrelevant?
Exactly what I said. The details of the measurements are irrelevant
for the outcome. The uncertainty principle is true for *all* possible
measurements.
I'd like to know how to set up the experiment involving an electron and
some light.
I'd like to know what happens during the experiment, and
I'd like to know how the measurement follows from that.
Why? What's so important about that special type of experiment?
I suppose that could be irrelevant to you, but I'm interested in it.
Such experiments do exist, right?
AFAIK, they do.
All I need is a pointer to them.
So Sam Wormley's links did not help?
I guess pointing to Feynman's Lectures Volume III
wouldn't help either.
