Abstract
We establish an exact differential equation for the operator describing time-dependent measurements continuous in time and obtain a series solution. Suppose the projection operator E(t)=U(t)EU†(t) is measured continuously from t=0 to T, where E is a projector leaving the initial state unchanged and U(t) a unitary operator obeying U(0)=1. We prove that the probability of always finding E(t)=1 from t=0 to T is unity. If U(t)≠1, the watched kettle is sure to "boil."
