In quantum mechanics, the wavefunction of a particle is a function of position and time, commonly denoted by , associated with the location of the particle. The modulus-squared of the wavefunction gives the probability density of the particle being in a specific position at a specific time. Integrating the modulus-squared of the wavefunction over a region gives the probability of the particle being in that region at a specific time.

  • In quantum mechanics, the wavefunction of a particle is a function of position and time, commonly denoted by , associated with the location of the particle. The modulus-squared of the wavefunction gives the probability density of the particle being in a specific position at a specific time. Integrating the modulus-squared of the wavefunction over a region gives the probability of the particle being in that region at a specific time. The way that the wavefunction changes over time is given by the Schrödinger equation. Various properties of the particle, such as position, momentum and energy, can be found by applying operators to the wavefunction.
