  2. Probability amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_amplitude

    Probability amplitudes provide a relationship between the quantum state vector of a system and the results of observations of that system, a link was first proposed by Max Born, in 1926. Interpretation of values of a wave function as the probability amplitude is a pillar of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

  3. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    The invariant amplitude M is then the probability amplitude for relativistically normalized incoming states to become relativistically normalized outgoing states. For nonrelativistic values of k, the relativistic normalization is the same as the nonrelativistic normalization (up to a constant factor √ m).

  4. Born rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_rule

    The Born rule is a postulate of quantum mechanics that gives the probability that a measurement of a quantum system will yield a given result. In one commonly used application, it states that the probability density for finding a particle at a given position is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the system's wavefunction at that position.

  5. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    For the general case of N particles with spin in 3d, if Ψ is interpreted as a probability amplitude, the probability density is (,,) = | (,,) | and the probability that particle 1 is in region R 1 with spin s z 1 = m 1 and particle 2 is in region R 2 with spin s z 2 = m 2 etc. at time t is the integral of the probability density over these ...

  6. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    In probability theory, a probability density function (PDF), density function, or density of an absolutely continuous random variable, is a function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the ...

  7. Density matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_matrix

    Noise is often modelled via a depolarizing channel or an amplitude damping channel. Quantum tomography is a process by which, given a set of data representing the results of quantum measurements, a density matrix consistent with those measurement results is computed.

  8. Propagator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagator

    There is a nonzero probability amplitude to find a significant fluctuation in the vacuum value of the field Φ(x) if one measures it locally (or, to be more precise, if one measures an operator obtained by averaging the field over a small region). Furthermore, the dynamics of the fields tend to favor spatially correlated fluctuations to some ...

    The maximum value or amplitude of the Cauchy PDF is , located at =.. It is sometimes convenient to express the PDF in terms of the complex parameter = + (;) = = ()The special case when = and = is called the standard Cauchy distribution with the probability density function [4] [5]
