'''Quantum coherence''' occurs when quantum particles or waves are in a fixed relationship or [[quantum entanglement]] with each other. This is sometimes described as being "in-phase", in contrast to when a disturbance breaks the correlation and ends the fixed relationship.

'''Quantum coherence''' occurs when quantum particles or waves are in a fixed relationship or [[quantum entanglement]] with each other. This is sometimes described as being "in-phase", in contrast to when a disturbance breaks the correlation and ends the fixed relationship. The phenomenom was predicted by [[Niels Bohr]] in 1946, and first observed at [[CERN]] in 1981.
