Are 'Observables' Considered a Valid Term in Quantum Mechanics?

[TheCavortr]

Is ``OBSERVABLES'' a word? I know ``OBSERVABLE'' (singular is), but what about the plural?

 

[koantum]

You find this plural in virtually any textbook of QM.

It's the same as VEGETABLE. Once you'll read some QM, you'll find certain similarities between the 2 words.

(Or between yourself and vegetables if you read too much of it! )

I've seen it written many times in quantum texts, but neither my LaTex spell checker nor my e-mail spell checker appreciates the plural.
