Noun
wavefunction (plural wavefunctions)
- (physics) A mathematical function that describes the propagation of the quantum mechanical wave associated with a particle (or system of particles), related to the probability of finding the particle in a particular region of space.
2011, Brian Cox, Jeff Forshaw, The Quantum World, Allen Lane, published 2011, page 41:The interpretation of the wavefunction was one of the thorny issues facing the early pioneers of quantum theory.
