Wave Function Collapse is a concept in quantum mechanics describing the transition from a range of possible measurement outcomes to the single outcome that is actually observed. Before measurement, a quantum system is represented by a wave function that can contain a superposition of several possible states at once. Rather than assigning one definite result in advance, the wave function gives probabilities for the different results that could be obtained. When a measurement occurs, only one of those possibilities is recorded, a process traditionally described as the collapse of the wave function.
Framing Note: Frames are selected by the artist and are included primarily to protect the artwork during handling and transit. Collectors are welcome to reframe the artwork after receipt according to their personal preference.
