Wave functions and characteristic vectors. The first thing that draws attention is the concept of the wave function. It is a probability density function that is correlated with an observable. On its turn the observable corresponds to a continuous normal operator. The wave function corresponds with a single vector in Hilbert space and its values correspond to the inner product of this vector with the eigenvectors of the operator that belongs to the observable. The corresponding eigenvalues form the argument of the of the wave function. read more
