Bornregelen
Bornregelen is the term used in several Nordic and Germanic languages for Born’s rule, a foundational postulate in quantum mechanics named after Max Born. It provides the probabilistic interpretation of the quantum state and connects the mathematical description of a system to observable outcomes.
In its standard form, the rule states that the probability density of finding a particle at position
History and role: Born introduced this probabilistic interpretation in 1926, addressing how complex wavefunctions relate to
Interpretations and derivations: While the Born rule is typically treated as a postulate, various theoretical approaches
Applications and significance: The rule underpins the calculation of outcomes in quantum experiments, spectroscopy, quantum computing,
