What does it mean to say that a quantum state or wavefunction is constrained?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
And i will also like to know if quantum states are only applicable for subatomic particles

You'll have to give some context.

No, they apply to every system. However, macroscopic systems can be difficult to model quantum mechanically.
