AB - The Wigner–Araki–Yanase (WAY) theorem establishes an importantconstraint that conservation laws impose on quantum mechanical measurements.We formulate the WAY theorem in the broader context of resource theories,where one is constrained to a subset of quantum mechanical operations describedby a symmetry group. Establishing connections with the theory of quantumstate discrimination we obtain optimal unitaries describing the measurementof arbitrary observables, explain how prior information can permit perfectmeasurements that circumvent the WAY constraint, and provide a frameworkthat establishes a natural ordering on measurement apparatuses through adecomposition into asymmetry and charge subsystems.
