Universal wavefunction — The Universal Wavefunction or Universal Wave Function is a term introduced by Hugh Everett in his Princeton PhD Thesis, [Bryce Seligman DeWitt, R. Neill Graham, eds, The Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics , Princeton Series in… … Wikipedia
Laughlin wavefunction — In condensed matter physics, the Laughlin wavefunction is an ansatz for the ground state of some electrons placed in a uniform background magnetic field in the presence of a uniform jellium background when the filling factor of the lowest Landau… … Wikipedia

Wave function — Not to be confused with the related concept of the Wave equation Some trajectories of a harmonic oscillator (a ball attached to a spring) in classical mechanics (A B) and quantum mechanics (C H). In quantum mechanics (C H), the ball has a wave… … Wikipedia
Many-worlds interpretation — The quantum mechanical Schrödinger s cat paradox according to the many worlds interpretation. In this interpretation every event is a branch point; the cat is both alive and dead, even before the box is opened, but the alive and dead cats are in… … Wikipedia
Bohm interpretation — The Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, sometimes called Bohmian mechanics, the ontological interpretation, or the causal interpretation, is an interpretation postulated by David Bohm in 1952 as an extension of Louis de Broglie s pilot wave … Wikipedia

Quantum mind–body problem — The quantum mind–body problem refers to the philosophical discussions of the mind–body problem in the context of quantum mechanics. Since quantum mechanics involves quantum superpositions, which are not perceived by observers, some… … Wikipedia
Interpretation of quantum mechanics — An interpretation of quantum mechanics is a statement which attempts to explain how quantum mechanics informs our understanding of nature. Although quantum mechanics has received thorough experimental testing, many of these experiments are open… … Wikipedia
