Abstract: A gedanken experiment is proposed in which the momentum and position of a photon can be measured simultaneously in such a way that the product of their respective errors is less than the right-hand side of the appropriate Heisenberg uncertainty relation.

Keywords: quantum measurements, measurement accuracy, Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
