See Born rule in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Forms: the Born rule [canonical]
Etymology: Formulated by German physicist Max Born in 1926. Head templates: {{en-prop|def=1}} the Born rule
  1. (quantum mechanics) A key postulate of quantum mechanics, giving the probability that a measurement of a quantum system will yield a given result. In its simplest form, it states that the probability density of finding a particle at a given point, when measured, is proportional to the square of the magnitude of the particle's wavefunction at that point.
