Quantum Noise

Full Title or Meme

Noise arising from the indeterminate state of matter in accordance with fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, specifically the uncertainty principle. Quantum noise is due to the apparently discrete nature of the small quantum constituents such as electrons, as well as the discrete nature of quantum effects, such as photocurrents.

Context

• All observations (measurements) can be reduced to just "clicks".

Solutions
