	Physically meaningful observables must also satisfy [[Linear map\|transformation]] laws which relate observations performed by different [[observation\|observer]]s in different [[frames of reference]]. These transformation laws are [[automorphism]]s of the state space, that is [[bijective]] [[Transformation (mathematics)\|transformation]]s which preserve some mathematical property.

	~~== Quantum mechanics ==~~

	~~In [[quantum physics]], the relation between system state~~ and ~~the value of an observable requires some basic~~ [~~[linear algebra]] for its description~~. ~~In the [[mathematical formulation~~ of ~~quantum mechanics]~~], ~~states are given by non-zero [[vector (geometry)\|vector]]s in a [[Hilbert space]] ''V'' (where two vectors are considered to specify the same state if, and only if, they are scalar multiples~~ of ~~each other) and observables are given by [[self-adjoint operator]]s on ''V''. However, as indicated below, not every self~~-~~adjoint operator corresponds to a physically meaningful observable~~. ~~For the case of a system~~ of ~~[[Elementary particle\|particle]]s~~, ~~the space ''V'' consists~~ of ~~functions called~~ [~~[wave function]]s or [[state vector]]s~~.

	~~In the case of transformation laws in quantum mechanics, the requisite automorphisms are [[unitary operator\|unitary]] (or [[antiunitary]]) linear transformations of the [[Hilbert space]] ''V''~~. ~~Under [[Galilean relativity]] or [[special relativity]~~]~~, the mathematics of frames of reference is particularly simple,~~ and ~~in fact restricts considerably the set of physically meaningful observables.~~

	~~In quantum mechanics, measurement of observables exhibits some seemingly unintuitive properties~~. ~~Specifically, if a system is in a state described by a vector in a [[Hilbert space]], the measurement process affects the state in a non-deterministic, but statistically predictable way. In~~ particular~~, after a measurement is applied, the state description by a single vector may be destroyed, being replaced by a [[statistical ensemble]]~~. ~~The [[reversible process\|irreversible]] nature of measurement operations in quantum physics is sometimes referred to as the [[measurement problem]]~~ and is ~~described mathematically by [[quantum operation]]s. By the structure of quantum operations, this description is mathematically equivalent~~ to that offered by [[relative state interpretation]] where the original system is regarded as a subsystem of a larger system and the state of the original system is given by the [[partial trace]] of the state of the larger system.

	In quantum mechanics each dynamical variable (e.g. position, translational momentum, orbital angular momentum, spin, total angular momentum, energy, etc.) is associated with a [[Hermitian operator]] that acts on ~~the [[Quantum state\|state]] of the quantum system and whose [[eigenvalues]] correspond to the possible values of the dynamical variable~~. ~~For example, suppose <math>\|a\rangle</math> is an eigenket ([[eigenvector]]) of the observable~~ <~~math~~>~~\mathbf{A}</math>, with eigenvalue <math>a~~<~~/math~~>~~, and exists in a d-dimensional [[Hilbert space]]~~. ~~Then~~

	~~:<math>\mathbf{A}</math><math>\|a\rangle</math> = <math>a</math> <math>\|a\rangle.</math>~~

	~~This eigenket equation says~~ that ~~if a [[measurement]]~~ of ~~the observable <math>\scriptstyle \mathbf{A}</math> is made while the system of interest is in the state <math>\scriptstyle \|~~a~~\rangle</math>, then the observed value of that particular measurement must return the eigenvalue <math>a</math>~~ with ~~certainty~~. ~~However, if the system of interest is in the general state <math>\scriptstyle \|\phi\rangle\in\mathcal{H}</math>, then the eigenvalue <math>a</math> is returned~~ with ~~probability~~ <~~math~~>~~\scriptstyle \|\langle a\|\phi\rangle\|^2~~<~~/math~~> ~~([[Born rule]]). One must note that~~ the ~~above definition is somewhat dependent upon our convention of choosing real numbers to represent real physical quantities. Indeed, just because dynamical variables are "real"~~ and ~~not "unreal" in~~ the ~~metaphysical sense does not mean that they must correspond~~ to ~~real numbers in the mathematical sense.~~

	To be ~~more precise, the dynamical variable/observable is a (not necessarily bounded) Hermitian operator in a Hilbert Space and thus is represented by a Hermitian matrix if~~ the ~~space is finite-dimensional~~. ~~In an infinite~~-~~dimensional Hilbert space~~, ~~the observable is represented by~~ a [~~[Symmetric operator#Symmetric operators\|symmetric operator]], which may not be ''defined everywhere'' (i~~.e. ~~its [[Domain (mathematics)\|domain~~]~~] is~~ not ~~the whole space -~~ there ~~exist some states that are not in the domain~~ of ~~the operator). The reason for such a change is that in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the operator becomes [[unbounded]], which means that it~~ no ~~longer has a largest eigenvalue~~. ~~This is not~~ the case in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, where every operator is bounded - it has a largest eigenvalue. For example, if we consider the position of a point particle moving along a line, this particle's position variable can take on any ~~number on the real-line, which is [[uncountably]] infinite~~. ~~Since the eigenvalue of an observable represents a real physical quantity for that particular dynamical variable, then we must conclude that there is no largest eigenvalue for the position observable~~ in ~~this uncountably infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, since the [[Field (mathematics)\|field]] we're working over consists of~~ the ~~real-line. Nonetheless~~, ~~whether we~~ are ~~working in an infinite-dimensional or finite-dimensional Hilbert space, the role of an observable in quantum mechanics is~~ to ~~assign real numbers to outcomes of ''particular measurements''; this means that only certain measurements can determine~~ the ~~value~~ of ~~an observable for some state of a quantum system. In classical mechanics, ''any'' measurement can be made to determine~~ the ~~value of an observable~~.

	~~==Incompatibility~~ of ~~observables~~ in ~~quantum mechanics==~~
	~~A crucial difference between classical quantities and quantum mechanical observables is that~~ the ~~latter may not be simultaneously measurable~~. ~~This is mathematically expressed by non-[[commutativity]] of the corresponding operators, to the effect that~~

	:<~~math~~>~~\mathbf{A}\mathbf{B} - \mathbf{B}\mathbf{A} \neq \mathbf{0}.~~<~~/math~~>

	~~This inequality expresses~~ a ~~dependence~~ of ~~measurement results on the order in which measurements~~ of ~~observables <math>\scriptstyle \mathbf{A}</math> and <math>\scriptstyle \mathbf{B}</math> are performed. Observables corresponding~~ to ~~non-commutative operators are called ''incompatible''~~.
