| Jul 30, 2016 at 3:30 | comment | added | CuriousOne | Couple of misunderstandings here. Electrons are quanta, i.e. they are single measurements on a system. Wave functions don't describe probabilities but the state of ensembles of quanta, so to say that "the electron is a probability wave function" is meaningless, as it equates a single measurement with the description of all possible measurements. Collapse of the wave function is a fairly meaningless concept that one shouldn't use any longer. Electrons are not particles, as that is a term that is only useful on classical mechanics, even though the misnomer is still frequently found. | |
