Quantum weirdness is used in many titles of books and articles about aspects of quantum mechanics. The implication is that these aspects challenge and defy human physical intuition. These aspects include:[citation needed]
- quantum entanglement;
- quantum nonlocality, referred to by Einstein as "spooky action at a distance"; see also EPR paradox;
- quantum superposition, presented in dramatic form in the thought experiment known as Schrödinger's cat;
- the uncertainty principle;
- wave–particle duality;
- the probabilistic nature of wave function collapse, decried by Einstein, saying, "God does not play dice".
