Theoretical Chemistry
A wave function is a mathematical description of the quantum state of a particle or system, representing the probability amplitude for the position and momentum of the particle. It encapsulates all the information about a system's state and is essential for predicting the outcomes of measurements in quantum mechanics, linking it to operators that correspond to physical observables and contributing to probability distributions that reflect the likelihood of finding a particle in a particular state.
