= Scattering amplitude
{wiki=Scattering_amplitude}
Scattering amplitude is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory that describes the probability amplitude for a scattering process to occur. It quantifies how likely it is for incoming particles (or waves) to be scattered into a specific final state after interacting with each other. \#\#\# Key Points about Scattering Amplitude: 1. **Quantum Mechanics Framework**: In the context of quantum mechanics, the scattering amplitude is related to the wave function of the incoming and outgoing particles.
