Talk:State vector reduction

I added this redirect from State vector reduction to Wavefunction collapse. In the physics and philosophy literature, in my experience, "state vector reduction" is more common than "wavefunction collapse." (The quantum mechanical wavefunction is often considered as merely the components of the state vector with respect to the position basis, not the state that lives in a Hilbert space.) Probably more people are familiar with "wavefunction collapse," however, as introductory courses in quantum mechanics use this terminology. Google seems to agree.
