... position of the electron at the same instant in time. This is a statement of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. In order to get around this problem, rather than trying to define its exact position and momentum, we use the probability of finding the electron in a given volume of space. The probabil ...

The Born rule and its interpretation
... rule, assume that a has non-degenerate discrete spectrum: this means that a has an orthonormal basis of eigenvectors (ei ) with corresponding eigenvalues λi , i.e. aei = λi ei . A fundamental assumption underlying the Born rule is that a → measurement of the observable a will produce one of its eige ...
