Phys. Rev. A 49, 4331–4338 (1994)Causality constraints on nonlocal quantum measurementsReceived 2 April 1993; published in the issue dated June 1994 Consequences of relativistic causality for measurements of nonlocal characteristics of composite quantum systems are investigated. It is proved that verification measurements of entangled states necessarily erase local information. A complete analysis of measurability of nondegenerate spin operators of a system of two spin-1/2 particles is presented. It is shown that measurability of certain projection operators which play an important role in axiomatic quantum theory contradicts the causality principle. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
