I am brushing up on some basic quantum mechanics that we covered in the review for a course I just started. For some reason I cannot remember why the following is the case.
So let's say we have [tex] \psi [/tex] representing a vector with components that represent a state.
Why do we have to do: [tex] | \psi_i |^2 [/tex] to get the probability that we are in that given state?
I know I HAVE to, but I cannot remember WHY.
thanks
