Quantum nondemolition measurement preserves the integrity of the system and the value of the measured observable, which is best thought of as the ideal quantum projective measurement.

As a perspective of such an experimental realisation, the combination of quantum logic devices and
quantum nondemolition measurements on a chip are expected (Fushman et al, 2008).
