Which outcome occurs when eigenfunctions do not commute in quantum systems?

A)Simultaneous precise measurements prohibited
B)Energy levels become quantized sharply
C)Wave function collapses immediately
D)Entanglement entropy approaches zero

💡 Explanation

If eigenfunctions for different observable operators do not commute, simultaneous measurements cannot be made with arbitrary precision, because the Heisenberg uncertainty principle applies due to non-commuting operators; therefore, simultaneous measurements are prohibited, rather than wave function collapse if compatible.
