Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.

Although quantum mechanics has been around for nearly 70 years, it is still not generally understood or appreciated, even by those that use it to do calculations.

In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined.

Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it.

[Recent evidence regarding quantum mechanics is] sufficient to rule out all theological options but one - the Bible's.

The basic idea is to shove all fundamental difficulties onto the neutron and to do quantum mechanics in the nucleus.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. And it tells us our reality is continually branching into different possibilities, just like a coral.

The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world.

Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things.

Quantum field theory, which was born just fifty years ago from the marriage of quantum mechanics with relativity, is a beautiful but not very robust child.

The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment.

If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be assigned probability.

Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics

What're quantum mechanics?" "I don't know. People who repair quantums, I suppose.

I liked quantum mechanics very much. The subject was hard to understand but easy to apply to a large number of interesting problems.

If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.

Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.

People get a lot of confusion, because they keep trying to think of quantum mechanics as classical mechanics.

Quantum mechanics is confusing and consciousness is confusing, so maybe they're the same.

At the heart of quantum mechanics is a rule that sometimes governs politicians or CEOs-as long as no one is watching, anything goes.

Quantum mechanics has explained all of chemistry and most of physics.

In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time.

If everything is made up of little particles and all the little particles follow quantum mechanics, then shouldn't everything just follow quantum mechanics?

Everything that can happen, does. That's quantum mechanics. But this does not mean everything happens. The rest of physics is about describing what can happen and what can't.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.

Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
