What is the dual nature of light in quantum mechanics?

Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like behavior in quantum mechanics.

What is the name of the equation that describes the behavior of particles in quantum mechanics?

The Schrödinger equation.

What is superposition in quantum mechanics?

Superposition is the ability of a particle to exist in multiple states at the same time in quantum mechanics.

What is entanglement in quantum mechanics?

Entanglement is a phenomenon in which two particles become linked and their states become interdependent in quantum mechanics.

What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics?

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to know both the precise position and momentum of a particle in quantum mechanics.

What is tunneling in quantum mechanics?

Tunneling is the ability of a particle to pass through a potential barrier in quantum mechanics.

What is a qubit in quantum mechanics?

A qubit is a quantum bit, the basic unit of information in quantum computing.

What is decoherence in quantum mechanics?

Decoherence is the loss of coherence between quantum states due to their interaction with the environment in quantum mechanics.

What is a wavefunction in quantum mechanics?

A wavefunction is a mathematical function that describes the quantum state of a system in quantum mechanics.

What is the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics?

The Copenhagen interpretation is a popular interpretation of quantum mechanics that emphasizes the role of measurement and observer effects.

What is the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics?

The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that suggests that every possible outcome of a quantum measurement actually occurs in a separate universe.

What is the difference between a classical bit and a qubit in quantum mechanics?

A classical bit can only be in one of two states (0 or 1) at a time, while a qubit can exist in multiple states simultaneously in quantum mechanics.

What is the significance of Planck's constant in quantum mechanics?

Planck's constant is a fundamental constant in quantum mechanics that relates the energy of a particle to its frequency and wavelength.

What is a quantum computer in quantum mechanics?

A quantum computer is a computer that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations.

What is quantum cryptography in quantum mechanics?

Quantum cryptography is a method of encoding information that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement, to transmit the key securely.
