- Abstract: It is not possible to obtain information about the observable properties of a
quantum system without a physical interaction between the system and an
external meter. This physical interaction is described by a unitary
transformation of the joint quantum state of the system and the meter, which
means that the information transfer from the system to the meter depends on the
initial quantum coherence of the meter. In the present paper, we analyze the
measurement interaction in terms of the changes of the meter state caused by
the interaction with the system. The sensitivity of the meter can then be
defined by evaluating the distinguishability of meter states for different
values of the target observable. It is shown that the sensitivity of the meter
requires quantum coherences in the generator observable that determines the
magnitude of the back action of the meter on the system. The trade-off between
measurement resolution and back action is decided by the relation between
sensitivity and quantum coherent uncertainty in the external meter. No matter
how macroscopic the device used as a meter is, it must necessarily be quantum
coherent in the degrees of freedom that interact with the system being
measured.

We extend the idea of measurement to a more general class of sensors for quantum agents.
For appropriate sensory interactions, the quantum agent may learn'' more about the system than would be possible under any set of classical measurements.
We experimentally demonstrate such a system and characterize the tradeoffs, which can be done by considering the information required to erase the effects of a measurement.

Measurements map the value of a target observable onto a meter shift, resulting in a meter readout that combines the initial statistics of the meter state with the quantum statistics of the target observable.
Here, we analyze the changes in the meter readout statistics caused by sufficiently weak measurement interactions.
In addition, our analysis reveals a direct modification of the meter fluctuations due to the dependence of the post-selection probability on the dynamics induced by the meter in the measurement interaction.

When a measurement is made on a system that is not in an eigenstate of the measured observable, it is often assumed that some conservation law has been violated.
The preparation of a system in any particular state necessarily involves interaction between the apparatus and the system.
Because the apparatus has an enormous number of degrees of freedom relative to the measured system, even a very tiny difference between the apparatus states can be sufficient to account for the perceived deviation from strict conservation of the quantity in question.

We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.
