Answer:
In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse occurs when a wave function—initially in a superposition of several eigenstates—reduces to a single eigenstate due to interaction with the external world. ... Historically Werner Heisenberg was the first to use the idea of wave function reduction to explain quantum measurement

Answer:
Wave function is not collapsed by measurement. When a quantum system is exposed to environment its wave function gets entangled with the environmental degrees of freedom in a thermodynamically irreversible way.
