What result do we get when we measure a property of a quantum particle?

📚 In this video we learn what quantum mechanics teaches us about measuring properties like the position, momentum, or energy of particles. This seemingly innocent question leads to some of the most bizarre yet exciting aspects of quantum theory: measurement outcomes are probabilistic.
