Difference between Measurement and Wave function

Measurement vs. Wave function

Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events. A wave function in quantum physics is a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system.

Similarities between Measurement and Wave function

Measurement and Wave function have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dimensional analysis, Measurement in quantum mechanics, Planck constant, Quantum mechanics, Uncertainty principle, Wave function collapse, Wavelength.

Dimensional analysis

In engineering and science, dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, and electric charge) and units of measure (such as miles vs. kilometers, or pounds vs. kilograms) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed.

Planck constant

The Planck constant (denoted, also called Planck's constant) is a physical constant that is the quantum of action, central in quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.

Uncertainty principle

In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle (also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p, can be known.

Wave function collapse

In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is said to occur when a wave function—initially in a superposition of several eigenstates—appears to reduce to a single eigenstate (by "observation").

Wavelength

In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

Measurement and Wave function Comparison

Measurement has 154 relations, while Wave function has 211. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 1.92% = 7 / (154 + 211).
