What is another word for wave function collapse?
Pronunciation: [wˈe͡ɪv fˈʌŋkʃən kəlˈaps] (IPA) 
The term "wave function collapse" refers to the quantum mechanical phenomena where the state of a particle or system becomes determined through measurement or interaction with its environment. Synonyms for this term include "state reduction," "measurement collapse," and "quantum collapse." These terms are often used interchangeably in the field of quantum mechanics to describe the same concept. However, some researchers argue that the term "wave function collapse" is a misnomer, as it implies that the wave function physically collapses, when in fact the phenomenon is still not fully understood and may not involve a physical collapse of the wave function.
