What is the meaning of hidden variables?

an undiscovered causative variable. When a relationship is found between variables x and y, variable x may erroneously be thought to be the cause of y.

What is the Born interpretation of the wave function use formula where applicable?

Born proposed in 1926, the most commonly accepted interpretation of the wavefunction that the square of the modulus (Equation 3.4. 2) is proportional to the probability density (probability per unit volume) that the electron is in the volume dτ located at ri.

What is the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics?

The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which a universal wavefunction obeys the same deterministic, reversible laws at all times; in particular there is no (indeterministic and irreversible) wavefunction collapse associated with measurement.

What is quantum mechanics?

Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics Quantum mechanics is a physical theory developed in the 1920s to account for the behavior of matter on the atomic scale. It has subsequently been developed into arguably the most empirically successful theory in the history of physics.

What is the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics?

Transactional interpretation. This interpretation of quantum mechanics is unique in that it not only views the wave function as a real entity, but the complex conjugate of the wave function, which appears in the Born rule for calculating the expected value for an observable, as also real.

What is the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics?

It is one of the oldest of numerous proposed interpretations of quantum mechanics, as features of it date to the development of quantum mechanics during 1925–1927, and it remains one of the most commonly taught. There is no definitive historical statement of what is the Copenhagen interpretation.
