Neumann quantum mechanics

Neumann quantum mechanics, developed by mathematician John von Neumann, provides a rigorous mathematical framework for understanding quantum systems. It models physical states as vectors in a special mathematical space called a Hilbert space and describes measurements using operators. This formalism unifies the wave-like and particle-like aspects of quantum objects, allowing precise predictions of experimental outcomes. Essentially, Neumann’s approach clarifies how quantum states evolve and how measurement affects these states, laying the groundwork for modern quantum theory by translating physical phenomena into a consistent mathematical language.
