- mrkstu 6y agoDo (non)measurements taken this way 'collapse the wave function' anyway? Or can you only get information that is still open to change during the actual measurement?
- monktastic1 6y ago"Collapse" is just one way to explain how measurements happen. These are "actual" measurements, because they give you actual information.
