<p>Some <a href="page.php?w=interpretations_of_quantum_mechanics">interpretations of quantum mechanics</a> posit a central role for an <b>observer</b> of a quantum phenomenon. The quantum mechanical observer is tied to the issue of <a href="page.php?w=Observer_effect_%28physics%29">observer effect</a>, where a measurement necessarily requires interacting with the physical object being measured, affecting its properties through the interaction. The term "observable" has gained a technical meaning, denoting a <a href="page.php?w=self-adjoint_operator">self-adjoint operator</a></p><p>
