How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T9600476 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is John von Neumann’s landmark 1932 treatise that rigorously formulates quantum theory using functional analysis and operator theory on Hilbert spaces.
-
B.
The Principles of Quantum Mechanics
The Principles of Quantum Mechanics is a foundational 1930 textbook by Paul Dirac that rigorously formalized quantum theory and introduced key concepts such as bra–ket notation.
-
C.
Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum
Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum is an introductory physics book that presents the core concepts and mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics in a rigorous yet accessible way for motivated beginners.
-
D.
Quantum Mechanics (with Philip M. Morse)
"Quantum Mechanics (with Philip M. Morse)" is a foundational early 20th-century textbook on quantum theory co-authored by physicists Edward Condon and Philip M. Morse.
-
E.
Born rule in quantum mechanics
The Born rule in quantum mechanics is the fundamental postulate that connects a system’s wavefunction to experimentally observed probabilities by stating that measurement outcomes occur with probabilities given by the squared magnitude of the wavefunction’s amplitudes.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
