Abstract
An RLC circuit, certain parameters of which are measured sequentially, that is, one after the other, undergoes significant perturbations that affect its dynamical behavior. By contrast, these perturbations could be eliminated when the measurements are performed in parallel, that is, when the parameters are measured simultaneously. This result confirms the existence of physical systems with the property that certain operations on them can be performed successfully in parallel but not sequentially.
