For measurements which attempt to localize the measured system in a certain region R, the localized wave functions are proportional to the original wave function outside of R. This `quantum memory' effect shows that it is not possible to perfectly localize a quantum particle.8 pages with 1 figure available upon requestHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyQuantum Memory Effects in the Measurement of Observables with a Continuous Spectrumtext
