Study Notes
- The wave function of a quantum system can be in a superposition of different states.
- The wave function can collapse, meaning that the system will only ever be in a single state.
- Wave function collapse is a reversible process, but it is not a physical process.
- Wave function collapse is important for explaining the classical limit of quantum mechanics, but it cannot explain wave function collapse.
