Abstract

Whether quantum-mechanical systems, within the interval between two measurements, can be assigned definite, simultaneous values of noncommuting observables has been the subject of a very old dispute. A certain widely held assumption about such systems has been crucial to that dispute. That assumption turns out to be wrong: A previously unknown prediction of quantum mechanics, which fails to satisfy that assumption, is described here, and the consequences of that failure are considered.
