Quantum measurement

Measurement in quantum mechanics

In quantum physics, a measurement is the testing or manipulation of a physical system to yield a numerical result. The predictions that quantum physics makes are in general probabilistic. The mathematical tools for making predictions about what measurement outcomes may occur were developed during the 20th century and make use of linear algebra and functional analysis. Quantum physics has proven to be an empirical success and to have wide-ranging applicability. However, on a more philosophical level, debates continue about the meaning of the measurement concept.

Understanding Quantum Mechanics #1: It’s not about discreteness

This must be one of the most common misunderstandings about quantum mechanics, that quantum mechanics is about making things discrete. But is an understandable misunderstanding because the word “quantum” suggests that quantum mechanics is about small amounts of something. Indeed, if you as

Why Momentum in Quantum Physics is Complex

In classical physics, we are used to calculating an object's momentum by multiplying its mass by its velocity. But how do we deal with momentum in Quantum Mechanics, where we commonly deal with wave functions? A wave function is a mathematical function that contains all the information we
