Possible experimental demonstration of the wave‐function's reduction by means of correlation experiments with non‐commuting observables and fast‐response detectors is discussed. As an example, the sequential measurements of a free particle's longitudinal coordinates in the Time‐of‐Flight apparatus are considered.
