Line 20: }}</ref> While standard [[quantum]] mechanics postulates wave function collapse to connect quantum to classical models, some extension theories propose physical processes that cause collapse. The in depth study of [[quantum decoherence]] has proposed that collapse is related to the interaction of a quantum system with its environment. Historically, [[Werner Heisenberg]] was the first to use the idea of wave function reduction to explain quantum measurement.<ref>[[Werner Heisenberg\|Heisenberg, W.]] (1927).
