  2. Bohr–Einstein debates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Einstein_debates

    The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science , insofar as the disagreements—and the outcome of Bohr's version of quantum mechanics becoming the prevalent view—form the root of ...

  3. Bell test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test

    The Bell test has its origins in the debate between Einstein and other pioneers of quantum physics, principally Niels Bohr. One feature of the theory of quantum mechanics under debate was the meaning of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This principle states that if some information is known about a given particle, there is some other ...

  4. Niels Bohr - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr

    Niels Henrik David Bohr (Danish: [ˈne̝ls ˈpoɐ̯]; 7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

  5. Copenhagen interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation

    According to Bohr's complementarity principle, light is neither a wave nor a stream of particles. A particular experiment can demonstrate particle behavior (passing through a definite slit) or wave behavior (interference), but not both at the same time. [72] The same experiment has been performed for light, electrons, atoms, and molecules.

  6. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The Copenhagen interpretation is a collection of views about the meaning of quantum mechanics, stemming from the work of Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and others. The term "Copenhagen interpretation" was apparently coined by Heisenberg during the 1950s to refer to ideas developed in the 1925–1927 period, glossing over his ...

  7. Complementarity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity_(physics)

    In physics, complementarity is a conceptual aspect of quantum mechanics that Niels Bohr regarded as an essential feature of the theory. [1] [2] The complementarity principle holds that certain pairs of complementary properties cannot all be observed or measured simultaneously.

  8. Bothe–Geiger coincidence experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothe–Geiger_coincidence...

    The Bothe–Geiger experiment and the Compton–Simon experiment marked an end to the BKS theory. [8] Kramers was skeptic at the beginning. In a letter to Bohr, Kramers said "I can unfortunately not survey how convincing the experiments of Bothe and Geiger actually are for the case of the Compton effect". [ 5 ]

  9. Barometer question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer_question

    The barometer question achieved the status of an urban legend; according to an internet meme, the question was asked at the University of Copenhagen and the student was Niels Bohr. [2] The Kaplan, Inc. ACT preparation textbook describes it as an "MIT legend", [3] and an early form is found in a 1958 American humor book. [4]
