Max Planck proposed that energy comes in discrete packets called "quanta" while studying radiation emitted by this type of heated object.
Difficulty: EasyThe fine structure constant α ≈ 1/137 characterizes the strength of electromagnetic interaction and is notable for being this type of number.
Difficulty: MediumThe ER=EPR conjecture proposes that entangled particle pairs are connected by non-traversable wormholes, unifying quantum entanglement with this geometric structure.
Difficulty: HardThis Austrian physicist's famous thought experiment involves a cat that is simultaneously alive and dead until observed.
Difficulty: EasyThe Dirac equation, which unified quantum mechanics with special relativity, predicted the existence of this type of matter before it was discovered.
Difficulty: MediumKitaev's toric code is a topological error-correcting code where logical qubits are protected by encoding information in these global properties of the lattice.
Difficulty: HardThe dual nature of matter and light, behaving as both particles and these, is a fundamental concept in quantum physics.
Difficulty: EasyIn quantum computing, the basic unit of information that can exist in superposition of 0 and 1 is called this.
Difficulty: Medium
