Preparation (physics) experienced in quantum mechanics. Preparation (physics) Generally, measuring instruments are meant to get the (pre-)existent value of a physical quantity of a system with as little change of, or interaction with the system as possible. — If a measuring instrument fixes a physical quantity of a physical system for further use (post-existent), then the measurement process is called preparation. For example, a graduated cylinder filled to a definite mark prepares a certain volume of the liquid for further use. Though preparation measures a physical quantity — at least by fixing it — it often destroys previous states of the physical
Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine is a quarterly peer-reviewed medical journal covering research on medical physics and biomedical engineering. It is the official journal of the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine. The journal was first published in 1977 as "Australasian Physical Sciences in Medicine", obtaining its current name in 1980. It has been published by Springer Science+Business Media since 2010. The journal replaced the earlier "Australasian Bulletin of Medical Physics" and "Australasian Newsletter of Medical Physics", which was established in December 1959. The Kenneth Clarke Journal Prize
