Short Notes about Wave Function

    According to the superposition principle of quantum mechanics, wave functions can be added together and multiplied by complex numbers to form new wave functions and form a Hilbert space.

    😊The wave function is a function of the degrees of freedom corresponding to some maximal set of commuting observables.

    😊 A wave function in quantum physics is a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system.

    😊However, the wave function in quantum mechanics describes a kind of physical phenomenon, still open to different interpretations, which fundamentally differs from of classic mechanical waves.

    😊The wave function is a complex-valued probability amplitude, and the probabilities in support of the possible results of measurements made on the system can be derived from it.

    😊The largest common symbols in support of a wave function are the Greek letters ψ and Ψ.
