The importance of this result is that it shows the wavefunction for the compound system is [[Quantum entanglement|entangled]], contrary to what one would normally think in a classical stand point. More importantly, it shows the energy of the hydrogen atom is not only associated with the electron but also associated with the proton, and the correspondingtotal statesstate is not [[Product state|decomposable]] into statesa state for the electron and one for the proton separately.<ref name = "Dickson" />
