Changing the phase of a wave-function
wave-function is a probability amplitude in quantum mechanics describing the quantum state of a particle and how it behaves.
when we change the phase of a wave-function what are we changing? are we changing the probability distribution wrt time-space?
the change in phase (between the wave-functions traveling different paths) causes the changes in interference pattern
is any energy required to change the phase of a wave-function?
or
when a wave-function changes phase is there an exchange of energy (with the instrument that caused the phase change)?
