which depends on position and time. [M6.4, P10.3, P10.4, P11.1]
is: a mathematical function that describes the quantum state of the system and specifies its quantum mechanical behaviour. [P10.3]
always corresponds: to a particular quantum state. [P8.3]
is: a complex quantity, which depends on position and time. [M6.4, P10.3, P10.4, P11.1]
contains: all the information we can know about the system. [M6.4, P10.3, P10.4, P11.1]
is exemplified: by the stationary state solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, which are the wavefunctions corresponding to states of definite energy. [M6.4, P10.3, P10.4, P11.1]
