determinism in quantum mechanics
Determinism in quantum mechanics refers to the philosophical concept that the behavior of particles or systems on a quantum level can be precisely predicted with certainty, based on a complete set of initial conditions. It asserts that there are underlying hidden variables that determine the outcome of quantum events, contrary to the probabilistic nature of quantum theory, where outcomes are only predictable in terms of probabilities.
