How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T13946328 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is John von Neumann’s landmark 1932 treatise that rigorously formulates quantum theory using functional analysis and operator theory on Hilbert spaces.
-
B.
The Principles of Quantum Mechanics
The Principles of Quantum Mechanics is a foundational 1930 textbook by Paul Dirac that rigorously formalized quantum theory and introduced key concepts such as bra–ket notation.
-
C.
Gleason’s theorem
Gleason’s theorem is a foundational result in the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics that characterizes all probability measures on the lattice of projection operators in a Hilbert space, effectively justifying the Born rule.
-
D.
Born rule in quantum mechanics
The Born rule in quantum mechanics is the fundamental postulate that connects a system’s wavefunction to experimentally observed probabilities by stating that measurement outcomes occur with probabilities given by the squared magnitude of the wavefunction’s amplitudes.
-
E.
"Relative State" Formulation of Quantum Mechanics
The "Relative State" Formulation of Quantum Mechanics is Hugh Everett III’s many-worlds interpretation, proposing that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements actually occur in a vast, branching multiverse without wavefunction collapse.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
