The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says it is impossible to know the _______ and the ________ of an object at the same time.
What are position and momentum?
200
Spukhafte Fernwirkung means...
What is "Spooky action at a distance" (Einstein’s term for nonlocality)
200
STM stands for this.
What is Scanning Tunneling Microscope (invented at IBM Zurich in 1981)
300
This man said it is impossible to know both the position and how fast a particle is moving. His uncertainty principle limits the precision with which complementary properties can be measured.
Who is Heisenberg?
300
This is what the Schrodinger’s cat experiment designed to demonstrate.
What is the absurdity of the Copenhagen interpretation?
300
This theory states that the wavefunction is always evolving, but we only experience one random branch of it.
What is the Many-Worlds Interpretation?
300

Light is both a particle and a wave according to this person's hypothesis.
Who is De Broglie?
400
This man created the constant that relates energy to frequency or momentum to wavelength
Who is Planck?
400
These three men proposed the experiment which would entangle two particles, separate them, and measure them separately.
Who are Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen?
400
This is both the capital of Denmark and the idea that makes it possible for cats to be both alive and dead.
What is the Copenhagen Interpretation?
400
Einstein frequently debated this man and lost.
Who is Bohr?

An atom is made of mostly what according to Rutherford's experiment?
What is empty space?
500
This man created the interpretation which avoids the “wave-length collapse” problem by saying all possible measurements take place in different wavefunctions
Who is Hugh Everett III?
500
These experiments from 1981 and 1982 used calcium atoms and photons to test Bell’s theorem.
What are the Aspect experiments?
500
This states that no physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics.
What is Bell’s Theorem?
