Meanings
nounquantum state (plural quantum states)
plural quantum states
- quantum mechanicsAny of the possible states of a quantum mechanical system.
As you should (hopefully) remember, a quantum state in NRQM is an abstract vector in an abstract vector space, analogous to a physical vector in 3D physical space. The same thing is true in RQM and QFT.
