This is a 'facsimile-style' translation of Wigner's seminal paper on measurement limitations in the presence of additive conservation laws. A critical survey of the history of subsequent extensions and variations of what is now known as the Wigner-Araki-Yanase (WAY) Theorem is provided in a paper published concurrently.

  1. Robustness of Noether's principle: Maximal disconnects between conservation laws and symmetries in quantum theory

    quant-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For rotationally symmetric quantum channels, spin polarization can be inverted by at most a factor of -j/(j+1) and amplified into a larger spin by at most (j_B+1)/(j_A+1), with conservation-law deviation bounded by ch...

  2. ND-Photonic QRNGs in a Noisy Environment

    quant-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A noisy photonic 3D QRNG can still be certified as maximally unpredictable by applying the located Kochen-Specker theorem to the pointer states instead of the measured quantum system.

  3. Exact Solutions for Spin Conserving Models and the Wigner-Araki-Yanase Theorem

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Develops an angular momentum conserving measurement model that provides a simple explanation and exact results for the implications of the WAY theorem.
