Apologies for the delay in my answer.
Could this also be related to entrophy?
The quantum origin of thermodynamics is addressed by a while field called quantum thermodynamics. In this context, thermodynamics quantities like entropy are connected to quantum observables. I am not too sure this is where you want to go. Please provide me more details to see whether I can answer shortly.
Does the act of taking a measurment disturb the quantum field surrounding the object and does this possibly have anything to do with quantum electro dynamics?
Taking a measurement changes the situation and affect the wave function. Quantum electrodynamics is on the other hand a quantum field theory describing electromagnetism.
PS: note that I finally wrote on the topic of your post in greater details. Feel free to have a look ^^
