Wavefunction Collapse

Wavefunction Collapse is a theoretical process in quantum mechanics whereby a quantum system's wavefunction, initially in a superposition of multiple eigenstates, instantaneously reduces to a single eigenstate upon measurement, with the outcome probabilistically determined by the Born rule.
