The wave function is a representation of all the possible quantum states of a particle. Until the particle is measured, causing the wave function to "collapse," that matter really does exist with ...

The wave function helps predict the results of quantum experiments with incredible accuracy. But it describes a world where particles have fuzzy properties – for example, existing in two places ...

Regarding collapse of a wave function ... You don’t experience quantum weirdness in your everyday lives, so it takes some work to concoct an example where it shows up.

I HAVE been able to show that there does not exist a mutually definite correlation between the spin and the transformation properties of the wave function of an elementary particle, as generally ...

The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small ...
