  2. Quantum superposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition

    Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that states that linear combinations of solutions to the Schrödinger equation are also solutions of the Schrödinger equation. This follows from the fact that the Schrödinger equation is a linear differential equation in time and position. More precisely, the state of a ...

  3. Penrose interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_interpretation

    Penrose's idea is inspired by quantum gravity because it uses both the physical constants and .It is an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation which posits that superposition fails when an observation is made (but that it is non-objective in nature), and the many-worlds interpretation, which states that alternative outcomes of a superposition are equally "real," while their mutual ...

  4. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    This interpretation removes the axiom of wave function collapse, leaving only continuous evolution under the Schrödinger equation, and so all possible states of the measured system and the measuring apparatus, together with the observer, are present in a real physical quantum superposition. While the multiverse is deterministic, we perceive ...

  5. Superposition principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superposition_principle

    The superposition principle, [1] also known as superposition property, states that, for all linear systems, the net response caused by two or more stimuli is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus individually. So that if input A produces response X, and input B produces response Y, then input (A + B) produces ...

  6. Measurement problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_problem

    t. e. In quantum mechanics, the measurement problem is the problem of definite outcomes: quantum systems have superpositions but quantum measurements only give one definite result. [1][2] The wave function in quantum mechanics evolves deterministically according to the Schrödinger equation as a linear superposition of different states. However ...

  7. Quantum state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_state

    In quantum physics, a quantum state is a mathematical entity that embodies the knowledge of a quantum system. Quantum mechanics specifies the construction, evolution, and measurement of a quantum state. The result is a prediction for the system represented by the state. Knowledge of the quantum state, and the rules for the system's evolution in ...

  8. Two-state quantum system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-state_quantum_system

    In quantum mechanics, a two-state system (also known as a two-level system) is a quantum system that can exist in any quantum superposition of two independent (physically distinguishable) quantum states. The Hilbert space describing such a system is two- dimensional. Therefore, a complete basis spanning the space will consist of two independent ...
