Phenomenon where a single quantum state is maintained over a period of time, crucial for quantum computing and superconductivity.

Principle that a quantum system can be in multiple states at once until it is observed. Crucial for quantum computing and interference phenomena.

Electrons in atoms have quantized energy levels rather than a continuous range. It explains atomic spectra and chemical behavior.

Particle-like behavior of waves and wave-like behavior of particles. Fundamental concept of quantum mechanics that has significant implications for understanding the behavior of electrons in atoms.

A quantum phenomenon where particles pass through a barrier that they classically couldn't, significant in nuclear fusion and semiconductor physics.

A quantum mechanical phenomenon where particles become connected, such that the state of one instantaneously affects the state of another, regardless of distance between them.

A fundamental constant of nature that sets the scale of quantum effects with the value $6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} \text{m}^2\text{kg/s}$. It is crucial in the quantization of energy levels.

A principle in quantum mechanics that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, explaining the structure of the periodic table and chemical bonding.

A mathematical equation that describes how the quantum state of a quantum system changes with time. It's central to quantum mechanics.

A postulate of quantum mechanics that gives the probability that a measurement on a quantum system will yield a particular result. It states that this probability is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wavefunction.

The loss of quantum coherence, typically due to interaction with the environment. It explains the transition from quantum to classical behavior and is a challenge for quantum computing.
