Thermodynamics
A quantum state is a mathematical object that encapsulates all the information about a quantum system, typically represented by a wave function or state vector in a Hilbert space. It defines the probabilities of the outcomes of measurements performed on the system and is fundamental to understanding phenomena like superposition and entanglement, which are essential in various areas such as statistical mechanics and quantum thermodynamics.
