expectation value (quantum state)

quantity

Available identifiers

expected (mean) value of a quantum-mechanical observable, calculated from a state vector

Defining Formula: $⟨ \hat{O} ⟩ \equiv ⟨ ψ \| \hat{O} \| ψ ⟩$
$\hat{O}$ symbol represents quantum mechanical operator
$⟨ \hat{O} ⟩$ symbol represents expectation value (quantum state)
$ψ$ symbol represents quantum state
