Blog: Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle Still Certain - Science News

Blog: Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle Still Certain - Science News: "An entangled quantum memory could hold information about a particle that could be measured to reveal the particle’s position perfectly, and information that could be measured to reveal the momentum perfectly. “So we can have a memory which stores both the position and the momentum,” Colbeck says...

If we stopped here, Heisenberg might get a little shifty down there. But there’s a caveat, and it’s a big one: “Although the memory stores both the position and the momentum, we can only read out one of the two,” Colbeck says."
