According to a poll at a Quantum Mechanics workshop in 1997 ,< ref > the Copenhagen interpretation is the most widely-accepted specific interpretation of quantum mechanics, followed by the many-worlds interpretation.

Quantum mechanics under the Copenhagen Interpretation interpreted probability as a physical phenomenon, which is what Jaynes called a Mind Projection Fallacy.

Quantum mechanics was developed with the aim of describing atoms and explaining the observed spectral lines in a measurement apparatus.

Quantum theory and quantum mechanics do not provide single measurement outcomes in a deterministic way.

Quantum mechanics has very accurately demonstrated this hypothesis, and the relation has been shown explicitly for particles as large as molecules.

; Quantum mechanics or Particle physics: When a spinless particle ( or even an unpolarized particle with spin ) decays, the resulting decay distribution must be isotropic in the rest frame of the decaying particle regardless of the detailed physics of the decay.

Bernard d ' Espagnat a French theoretical physicist best known for his work on the nature of reality wrote a paper titled The Quantum Theory and Reality according to the paper: " The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment.

Quantum mechanics is of a wider scope, as it encompasses classical mechanics as a sub-discipline which applies under certain restricted circumstances.

Quantum mechanics has superseded classical mechanics at the foundational level and is indispensable for the explanation and prediction of processes at molecular and ( sub ) atomic level.

Quantum mechanics is a set of principles describing physical reality at the atomic level of matter ( molecules and atoms ) and the subatomic ( electrons, protons, and even smaller particles ).

Although Schrödinger himself after a year proved the equivalence of his wave-mechanics and Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, the reconciliation of the two approaches and their modern abstraction as motions in Hilbert space is generally attributed to Paul Dirac, who wrote a lucid account in his 1930 classic Principles of Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum field theory has driven the development of more sophisticated formulations of quantum mechanics, of which the one presented here is a simple special case.

Quantum optics deals with the application of quantum mechanics to optical systems.

* Quantum mechanics: In quantum mechanics, which deals with the behavior of very small objects, it is not possible to observe a system without changing the system, and the " observer " must be considered part of the system being observed.

Quantum chemistry, a subfield of physical chemistry especially concerned with the application of quantum mechanics to chemical problems, provides tools to determine how strong and what shape bonds are, how nuclei move, and how light can be absorbed or emitted by a chemical compound.

Quantum field theory predicts a cosmological constant much like dark energy, but 120 orders of magnitude larger than that observed.

EPR tried to set up a paradox to question the range of true application of Quantum Mechanics: Quantum theory predicts that both values cannot be known for a particle, and yet the EPR thought experiment purports to show that they must all have determinate values.

Quantum mechanics predicts that certain physical phenomena, such as the nuclear decay of atoms, are fundamentally random and cannot, in principle, be predicted ( for a discussion of empirical verification of quantum unpredictability, see Bell test experiments.

Quantum theory predicts that states in a Hilbert space do not need to transform under representations of the group of rotations, but only under projective representations.

Quantum theory also provides accurate descriptions for many previously unexplained phenomena, such as black body radiation and the stability of the orbitals of electrons in atoms.

It is a collection of both introductory and technical lectures on the thermodynamics of black holes, but it also includes descriptions on Special Relativity, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

The 2005 reboot of the Legion by Mark Waid recasts the character as black, making him the third black hero from Xanthu to join the Legion ( after the first and second Kid Quantum ).

In issue # 125, Sonic battles an alien race known as the Xorda, leaves him stranded in space after saving Mobius from these aliens ' secret weapon known as the Quantum Dial, a device that would create a black hole that would destroy Mobius.

* Quantum wires, which confine electrons or holes in two spatial dimensions and allow free propagation in the third.

* Quantum wells, which confine electrons or holes in one dimension and allow free propagation in two dimensions.

A Quantum Jump has a destructive side effect on the local environment, violently upheaving gravity and tearing holes in the atmosphere ( on Earth, it would damage the ozone layer ), so Quasar initially refrained from using it except when in space or in dire circumstances.

Quantum dots are valued for displays, because they emit light in very specific gaussian distributions.

Quantum dots are valued for displays, because they emit light in very specific Gaussian distributions.

Quantum cascade lasers ( QCLs ) are semiconductor lasers that emit in the mid-to far-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and were first demonstrated by Jerome Faist, Federico Capasso, Deborah Sivco, Carlo Sirtori, Albert Hutchinson, and Alfred Cho at Bell Laboratories in 1994.

* 1900 – Quantum Mechanics: Max Planck presents a theoretical derivation of his black-body radiation law.

In 1917, Albert Einstein established the theoretical foundations for the laser and the maser in the paper Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung ( On the Quantum Theory of Radiation ); via a re-derivation of Max Planck ’ s law of radiation, conceptually based upon probability coefficients ( Einstein coefficients ) for the absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation ; in 1928, Rudolf W. Ladenburg confirmed the existences of the phenomena of stimulated emission and negative absorption ; in 1939, Valentin A. Fabrikant predicted the use of stimulated emission to amplify “ short ” waves ; in 1947, Willis E. Lamb and R. C. Retherford found apparent stimulated emission in hydrogen spectra and effected the first demonstration of stimulated emission ; in 1950, Alfred Kastler ( Nobel Prize for Physics 1966 ) proposed the method of optical pumping, experimentally confirmed, two years later, by Brossel, Kastler, and Winter.

Quantum leaps cause the emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the form of quantized units called photons.

" In a short paper entitled On Radiation-Pressure and the Quantum Theory " contributed in 1919 to the Astrophysical Journal, Saha showed that what countered gravity was selective radiation pressure.

In theoretical physics, Stochastic Electrodynamics ( SED ) is a variant of Classical Electrodynamics ( CED ) which posits the existence of a classical Lorentz Invariant radiation field having statistical properties similar to that of the electromagnetic zero-point field ( ZPF ) of Quantum Electrodynamics ( QED ).

Three giant longitudinal rings surround what is dubbed as the Quantum Core, and ruins exist upon the fragmented Core itself, but electromagnetic radiation inside the Core is severely limited, making exploration slow and difficult.
