A theory developed by Paul Dirac in 1927 that explains the
apparent paradox of wave/particle duality, by identifying a wave
with the superposition of an indefinite number of particles. For
example, if a wave is then interpreted as showing the probability
of the location of a particle, then a "collapse" of
the wave through measurement yields a particle sometimes found
"here" and sometimes "there."
