==Composite systems== For two quantum systems with spaces {{math|''L''<sup>2</sup>(''X''<sub>1</sub>)}} and {{math|''L''<sup>2</sup>(''X''<sub>2</sub>)}} and given states {{math|{{ket|Ψ<sub>1</sub>}}}} and {{math|{{ket|Ψ<sub>2</sub>}}}} respectively, their combined state {{math|{{ket|Ψ<sub>1</sub>}}β[[outer product|β]]β{{ket|Ψ<sub>2</sub>}}}} can be expressed as {{math|''ψ''<sub>1</sub>(''x''<sub>1</sub>)β''ψ''<sub>2</sub>(''x''<sub>2</sub>)}} a function on {{math|''X''<sub>1</sub>β[[direct product|Γ]]β''X''<sub>2</sub>}}, that gives the [[product measure|product of respective probability measures]]. In other words, amplitudes of a non-[[quantum entanglement|entangled]] composite state are [[multiplication|products]] of original amplitudes, and [[#convenient|respective observables]] on the systems 1 and 2 behave on these states as [[independent random variables]]. This strengthens the probabilistic interpretation explicated [[#The laws of calculating probabilities of events|above]] .
