Quantum mechanical measurement outcomes are inherently probabilistic and cannot be calculated a priori
Quantum mechanical measurement outcomes are inherently probabilistic and cannot be calculated beforehand, a principle supported by foundational interpretations and the Heisenberg indeterminacy relations.
The retrieved papers consistently support the standard quantum mechanical view that measurement outcomes are irreducibly probabilistic (governed by statistical predictions) and subject to indeterminacy, preventing a priori deterministic calculation. Papers [0], [1], [2], and [5] directly touch upon this intrinsic indeterminacy and probabilistic nature without any papers refuting the claim.

Paper [0] discusses how quantum mechanics connects to phenomena strictly in terms of probabilities, precluding a representation of how they physically come about.
