What is "spooky action at a distance?"
200
The most dramatic difference between waves and particles
What is the wave interference phenomenon.
200
The quality of an object whose exact position is unknown and therefore exists in more than one position.
What is a superposition state?
200
The phenomenon that prevents different branches of the wavefunction from interacting with one another.
What is decoherence?
200
The measure of the ability of an object to change its own motion or the motion of another object.
What is energy?
200
The theorem that describes the fact that our universe cannot be described by any theory in which particles have definite properties at all times and in which measurements made in one place are not affected by measurements in other places.
What is John Bell's Theorem?
300
This constant divided by the momentum gives you the wavelength of an object.
What is Planck's Constant.
300

What is non-locality.
400
Albert Einstein first spoke about light as a quantum particle when he attempted to explain this effect?
What is the photoelectric effect?
400
This interpretation explains that macroscopic objects are governed by classical physics and microscopic objects are governed by quantum physics with an absolute separation between the two.
What is Copenhagen interpretation?
400
A device consisting of two beam splitters that split a beam of light in half and a couple of mirrors that bring it back together again.

500
The principle that says that two wavefunctions behave as if they came from a single source.
What is Coherence.
500
The extremely small amount of energy that is always present in an object even when it is cooled to absolute zero.
