Concepts

Many-Worlds Interpretation - The quantum mechanics interpretation proposing that all possible measurement outcomes are physically realized in branching parallel universes.
Copenhagen Interpretation - The standard interpretation of quantum mechanics proposing that quantum systems have no definite properties until measured, and measurement causes wave function collapse.
Quantum Decoherence - The process by which quantum systems lose their quantum properties through interaction with their environment, explaining the emergence of classical behavior.
Non-Locality - The quantum phenomenon where entangled particles exhibit instantaneous correlations regardless of the physical distance separating them.
Wave Function Collapse - The process by which a quantum system in superposition transitions to a single definite state upon measurement or observation.
Bell's Theorem - A mathematical proof that no theory of local hidden variables can reproduce all the predictions of quantum mechanics.
