There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...
The heart of quantum mechanics is the wave-particle duality: matter and light possess both wave-like and particle-like attributes. Typically, the wave-like properties are inferred indirectly from the ...
