See section 4.2, and beyond, of https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0510095 which is a very good explanation of why there are no such operators. Brent What primarily interests me is whether S's superpostion of |alive> and |dead> can be applied to QM if there's no operator with those eigenvalues.

I have my doubts. TY, AG The question boils down to this; if there's no operator which has those values as eigenvalues, is it legimate to construct a "superposition" of those eigenvalues and conclude anything about QM?
