Wave Functions
A wave function describes the quantum state of a particle and contains all information about its possible measurements.
When observed, the system stops being a superposition and takes a single definite value.
The probability of each outcome is given by the square of the wave function's amplitude.
What does collapse mean here?
When observed, the wave function instantly resolves to one definite outcome — all other possibilities vanish.

Measurement and the Observer Effect
In classical mechanics, measurement is passive: observing a system reveals its state without altering it. Quantum mechanics overturns this assumption.
The act of measurement fundamentally disturbs the system, collapsing the superposition into a single definite eigenstate. This makes classical determinism impossible at quantum scales.
Before observation, the wave function encodes a spectrum of possible outcomes; after, only one is realised. The transition is governed by the Born rule.
