The very nature of the quantum theory ... forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union of which characterizes… — Niels Bohr
...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance. — Brian Greene
What're quantum mechanics?" "I don't know. People who repair quantums, I suppose. — Terry Pratchett
The role of gender in society is the most complicated thing I’ve ever spent a lot of time learning about, and I’ve spent a lot… — Randall Munroe
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you… — Richard P. Feynman
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… — Stephen Hawking
[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts. — Werner Heisenberg
When things get tough, there are two things that make life worth living: Mozart, and quantum mechanics — Victor Frederick Weisskopf
But, as we have seen, movement does not require a mover, and modern quantum mechanics has shown that not all effects require a cause. And… — Victor J. Stenger
Just because quantum mechanics is weird does not mean that everything that is weird is quantum mechanics. — Victor J. Stenger
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it. — Niels Bohr
Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics — Werner Heisenberg
The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. — Antony Garrett Lisi
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic. — Brian Greene
I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics. — Brian Greene
There are a lot of mysteries about quantum mechanics, but they mostly arise in very detailed measurements in controlled settings. — Lisa Randall
The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world. — Alain Aspect
Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation. — David Gross
Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition. — David Gross
Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective indeterminacy. — Murray Gell-Mann
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. — Edward Witten
