Quantum coherence

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.
