quantum mechanics

The Bell theorem refers to how entangled electrons are predicted by quantum mechanics, making them non-local — often referred to as “spooky action at a distance.”

They are ideally suited for predicting the structure and behavior of molecules, researchers say, because both the machines and the molecules are ruled by the counterintuitive laws of quantum mechanics.

Each of these particles follows the rules of quantum mechanics.

Since the discovery of quantum mechanics more than a hundred years ago, it has been known that electrons in molecules can be coupled to the motion of the atoms that make up the molecules.

Britain, China, the US and countries elsewhere, are all trying to exploit the weird properties of quantum mechanics.
