Eigenbasis

Quantum Mechanics Dictionary
Definition

A mathematical structure used to represent quantum states and the operations performed on them. It specifies how states are expressed, related, combined, and decomposed into components that support calculation. It does not by itself determine physical predictions without a mapping to observables and measurement rules.
