01 introduction to quantum physics
... In quantum theory, what you know is what you measure (or what some physical system “records”). The acts of measurement and observation can create the resulting state. A system does not have a definite value for a quantity until it is observed. Thus an electron is given a specific spin by an observat ...

You could say it exists in a suspended state, a sort of super-animation until it is actually observed, at which point, it takes on the form of either a particle or wave, while still having th ...

Operator methods in quantum mechanics
... the initial state implying that P̂ 2 = 1. Therefore, the eigenvalues of the parity operation (if such exist) are ±1. A wavefunction will have a defined parity if and only if it is an even or odd function. For example, for ψ(x) = cos(x), P̂ ψ = cos(−x) = cos(x) = ψ; thus ψ is even and P = 1. Similarl ...
