quantum measurements
Quantum measurements refer to the process of extracting information from quantum systems, such as particles or atoms, resulting in the collapse of their wave functions to a definitive state. These measurements provide essential data about specific properties or characteristics of quantum systems, such as position, momentum, energy, or spin. However, due to the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, measurements may only yield statistical outcomes rather than determinate values.
