I'm having a hard time understanding 'degrees of freedom'. Could someone please provide an example in terms of Quantum Mechanics about what a 'degree of freedom' could be represented as? Is it simply a number of observations of a physical system to determine the arrangement of particles within that system? Does the accuracy increase with a number of observations made or is one observation enough?
On a deeper level, is there a demarcation that can be said about the observer and the state space of a system or does that line blur away once an observation is made?
