I Have a question about how we arrive at the probabilities for the wavefunction collapsing to some specific value for an observable.
As far as I'm aware, the wavefunction is a superposition of possible states depending on the observable we try to measure.
Lets say I want to measure observable A,
What is the procedure for getting from the wavefunction to a set of possible outcomes with coefficients that weight the possibilities?
Apologies if the question isn't well formulated.
thanks in advance.
