Mathematical Methods in Classical and Quantum Mechanics
A probability distribution is a mathematical function that describes the likelihood of different outcomes in a random experiment. It provides a complete description of the probabilities associated with each possible outcome, and can be used to calculate expected values and variances. In the context of density matrices and mixed states, probability distributions help us understand how quantum systems can exist in multiple states simultaneously, each with a specific probability.
congrats on reading the definition of Probability Distribution. now let's actually learn it.
