The Schrödinger equation determining the probabilities of a system’s possible states and how they evolve.
It is described by a wavefunction that distributes the probabilities for all possible states (outcomes / possibilities).
It also determines the allowed energy levels that a particle can occupy, indicating that a particle can only use specific, quantized amounts of energy. These discrete energy levels dictate the possible transitions and interactions of particles within quantum systems.
