Thank you

For your recent edits of the POVM article. Though describing the POVM as a probability density function didn't seem right at all, I wouldn't have been able to express my concerns as eloquently as you did on the article's talk page.

If you're ever inclined to edit QM-related articles again, I'd like to recommend the following books

  • Compendium of Quantum Physics. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg. 2009. doi:10.1007/978-3-540-70626-7. ISBN 978-3-540-70622-9.
    • (The pdf "The Born rule and its interpretation" is part of the Compendium)
  • The series "Methods of Modern Mathematical Physics" by Barry Simon
  • Hall, Brian C. (2013). "Quantum Theory for Mathematicians". Graduate Texts in Mathematics. New York, NY: Springer New York. doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-7116-5. ISBN 978-1-4614-7115-8. ISSN 0072-5285.

Hopefully you can access them via your institution.

Finally, If you're ever looking for an easy way to add references to articles, https://citer.toolforge.org/ can be a great help. Just pop in a DOI or ISBN and you get a citation like the ones above.
