Quantum nonlocality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quantum nonlocality is the phenomenon by which measurements made at a microscopic level necessarily refute one or more notions (often referred to as local realism) that are regarded as intuitively true in classical mechanics .

Quantum tunnelling refers to the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle tunnels through a barrier that it classically could not surmount.

The Ehrenfest theorem , named after Paul Ehrenfest , the Austrian physicist and mathematician, relates the time derivative of the expectation value for a quantum mechanical operator to the commutator of that operator with the Hamiltonian of the system.

In quantum mechanics , quantum decoherence is the loss of coherence or ordering of the phase angles between the components of a system in a quantum superposition .

The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle that no two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin ) may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. A more rigorous statement is that the total wave function for two identical fermions is anti-symmetric with respect to exchange of the particles.

Wave–particle duality postulates that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties.

Complementarity (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In physics, complementarity is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics , closely associated with the Copenhagen interpretation .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

Quantum entanglement occurs when particles such as photons , electrons , molecules as large as buckyballs , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and even small diamonds [ 3 ] [ 4 ] interact physically and then become separated; the type of interaction is such that each resulting member of a pair is properly described by the same quantum mechanical description ( state ), which is indefinite in terms of important factors such as position , [ 5 ] momentum , spin , polarization , etc.
