Which outcome occurs when an electron wavefunction collapses?

💡 Explanation

Wavefunction collapse causes localization; the electron's position becomes defined due to observation. Interaction with the environment results in decoherence, therefore a more confined state is detected, rather than other probabilistic superpositions.
