Representations

Translate between words, diagrams, symbols, tables and graphs without changing the underlying meaning.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics

Quantum states are vectors in a complex space; observables are operators and measurement probabilities follow amplitudes. The Schrödinger equation governs state evolution.

Core checkpoint: Normalise a state before interpreting probabilities.
