We can use the phrase “quantum state” as a synonym for “wave function,” in direct parallel with calling a set of positions and velocities a “classical state.”
Even if we think an electron wave function is a diffuse cloud centered on the nucleus, when we actually look at it we don’t see such a cloud, we see a point-like particle at some particular location. And if we look immediately again, we see the electron in basically the same location. There’s a good reason why the pioneers of quantum mechanics invented the idea of wave functions collapsing—because that’s what they appear to do.
On the one hand, quantum mechanics is the heart and soul of modern physics. Astrophysicists, particle physicists, atomic physicists, laser physicists—everyone uses quantum mechanics all the time, and they’re very good at it. It’s not just a matter of esoteric research. Quantum mechanics is ubiquitous in modern technology. Semiconductors, transistors, microchips, lasers, and computer memory all rely on quantum mechanics to function. For that matter, quantum mechanics is necessary to make sense of the most basic features of the world around us. Essentially all of chemistry is a matter of applied quantum mechanics. To understand how the sun shines, or why tables are solid, you need quantum mechanics.
