Abstract

Usually, the idea of probability is applied only to the random motion in physics. Here, the instant probability concept is obtained by applying the probability approach to objects with deterministic motion trajectories via a coin falling to the ground as an example. Applied this concept to understand quantum mechanics, the following conclusions are inferred: The wave function/quantum state represents an instant probability distribution of physical quantities after taking into account Planck's constant; the collapse of the wave function is a special case of any function on time-dependent probability prediction has to collapse when performing measurement. The arrangement of measurements will affect the observed results; Quantum mechanics reveals the existence of non-local effects, which have nothing to do with the interaction in classical physics. Quantum mechanics cannot answer questions such as whether the cat is dead or alive before opening the box. The correct answer to this kind of question has to be from classic physics.
