The article explains how Hilbert space became the mathematical framework used to describe quantum systems, replacing intuitive notions of ordinary space and trajectories. It focuses on John von Neumann’s axiomatic formulation, which showed that matrix mechanics and wave mechanics are equivalent ways of representing the same quantum state.
