REVIEW OF WAVE MECHANICS
... However this means that in general measurements are not passive and profoundly disturb the state of a system. If the initial wave function of a system is described as a linear superposition of the eigenfunctions before the measurement, after the measurement it has been “reduced” or “collapsed” to on ...

... What is the wavefunction? The Born Interpretation of the Wavefunction: It is a mathematical (sometimes imaginary) function of the coordinate(s). The square of the wavefunction is interpreted as being proportional to the probability of the particle(s) being a particular value of the coordinates. In 1 ...

Bohr–Einstein debates
The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science. An account of the debates was written by Bohr in an article titled ""Discussions with Einsteinon Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics"". Despite their differences of opinion regarding quantum mechanics, Bohr and Einstein had a mutual admiration that was to last the rest of their lives.The debates represent one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory, quantum non-locality, which is absolutely central to our modern understanding of the physical world. The consensus view of professional physicists has been that Bohr proved victorious, and definitively established the fundamental probabilistic character of quantum measurement.
