Abstract

Some of the most amazing aspects of quantum mechanics appear in the description of systems with more than one particle. Gedanken experiments like the Heisenberg microscope or Einsteins recoiling slits have been discussed in the early days of quantum mechanics to elucidate the situation of elentary measurement processes, and correlation experiments between particle pairs have been performed to demonstrate the validity of quantum mechanics even for spatially separated systems.[1]
