I What does the state vector mean?

  • #51
Yes I can see your point maybe I should have said - my interpretation is the state vector does represent an quantum state. An outcome implies a result which may not be measureable say in two different polarizations, you only get a result from the axis of measurement chosen. Though mike1000 appears to have solved his problem - I think. So I'll leave this thread. I have picked up my 'Principles of QM' by PAMD in contributing to this thread which can't be a bad thing.
