The norm-1-property of a quantum observable

Abstract

A normalized positive operator measure X E(X) has the norm-1-property if E(X)=1 whenever E(X) O. This property reflects the fact that the measurement outcome probabilities for the values of such observables can be made arbitrary close to one with suitable state preparations. Some general implications of the norm-1-property are investigated. As case studies, localization observables, phase observables, and phase space observables are considered.
