Copenhagen: [ Link ] the capital and largest city of Denmark, situated on the islands of Zealand and Amager.
Copenhagen Interpretation: [ Link ] The Copenhagen interpretation is a commonly taught interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Wave Function: [ Link ] A probability amplitude in quantum mechanics describing the quantum state of a particle or system of particles.
Wave Function Collapse: [ Link ] In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is the phenomenon in which a wave function appears to reduce to a single one of many superimposed states as a result of being observed.
Sokar: [ Link ] A falcon god of the Memphite necropolis in Egyptian Mythology. One of his titles was 'he of Restau' which means the place of 'openings' or tomb entrances, making him one of the Egyptian gods of the dead.
Schrödinger's cat: [ Link ] Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, usually described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 in which a cat is shown to be in a superimposed quantum state, both alive and dead at the same time.
Quantum Uncertainty: [ Link ] In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states precise inequalities that constrain certain pairs of physical properties, such as measuring the present position while determining future momentum; both cannot be simultaneously done to arbitrarily high precision.
Niels Nohr: [ Link ] a Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.
