Elitzur's theorem is a result in quantum mechanics that deals with the relationship between measurement and quantum states. Specifically, it addresses the concept of "quantum erasure," which refers to the idea that certain measurements can potentially make it possible to restore information about a quantum system that was previously lost or obscured by other measurements. The most famous context in which Elitzur's theorem is discussed involves the double-slit experiment, a fundamental demonstration of quantum behavior.
