  2. Transfer of learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_learning

    Although the theory is that the similarity of elements facilitates transfer, there is a challenge in identifying which specific elements had an effect on the learner at the time of learning. Factors that can affect transfer include: Context and degree of original learning: how well the learner acquired the knowledge.

  3. Quantum entanglement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

    Quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.

  4. Symmetry in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_quantum_mechanics

    It states that because all observables are proportional to | | for a system of identical particles, the wave function must either remain the same or change sign upon such an exchange. More generally, for a system of n identical particles the wave function must transform as an irreducible representation of the finite symmetric group S n.

  5. Indistinguishable particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indistinguishable_particles

    e. In quantum mechanics, indistinguishable particles (also called identical or indiscernible particles) are particles that cannot be distinguished from one another, even in principle. Species of identical particles include, but are not limited to, elementary particles (such as electrons ), composite subatomic particles (such as atomic nuclei ...

  6. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    For example, after completing a safety course, transfer of training occurs when the employee uses learned safety behaviors in their work environment. [1] Theoretically, transfer of training is a specific application of the theory of transfer of learning that describes the positive, zero, or negative performance outcomes of a training program ...

  7. Two-way communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_communication

    Two-way communication involves feedback from the receiver to the sender. This allows the sender to know the message was received accurately by the receiver. One person is the sender, which means they send a message to another person via face to face, email, telephone, etc. The other person is the receiver, which means they are the one getting ...

  8. Quantum key distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_key_distribution

    Quantum key distribution ( QKD) is a secure communication method that implements a cryptographic protocol involving components of quantum mechanics. It enables two parties to produce a shared random secret key known only to them, which then can be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. The process of quantum key distribution is not to be ...

  9. Electronic band structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure

    With modifications, the concept of band structure can also be extended to systems which are only "large" along some dimensions, such as two-dimensional electron systems. Homogeneous system: Band structure is an intrinsic property of a material, which assumes that the material is homogeneous. Practically, this means that the chemical makeup of ...
