An extremely specialized area of physics that is really hard to understand, but it does actually make sense when you study it. Trust me, it's fucked up and involves a lot of fucked up math which I'm not going to explain but some of the other definitions on here explain it.
It will fuck up your worldview big time and that's one of the reasons Albert Einstein hated it so much. Can't blame him, I mean, his theory of relativity was supposed to be the one which finally described the true nature of reality and then comes along the double slit experiment and the schrodinger equation which just completely butt raped our current understanding of reality at the time and it's still puzzling today, although many scientists are searching for a grand unified theory which should explain the relationship between relativity and quantum mechanics.
Some of its philosophical implications are fucked up. Many believe it means reality doesn't exist but only our minds do, some believe it means there are parallel timelines/universes to our own, some believe its due to higher dimensions geometrically interacting with ours, some even believe it could imply our universe has some sort of pan-psyche to it. Yeah it gets really fucked. It just goes to show that we don't know shit about our universe.

Someone who defies the parameters of meatriding, breaks free of societal norms and physics to meatride you on a quantum level.
Chauncey and Ariel spent 40 minutes talking about Robert when he wasn't even responding, he's a quantum meatrider!
Chauncey chased Robert around in Brawhalla at 1am for 15 minutes, I've never seen someone meatride like this before, he must be a quantum meatrider.

A branch of physics in which the measurable qualities (position, momentum, energy) of a system are described by "observables." The system, upon measurement by the given observable, after being in a superposition of multiple states, collapses into one of a variety of states allowable by the Schrodinger equation. The exact state the system collapses into, is probablistically determined.
X|s1>=x1|s1>
In this example, |s1> is the system being "measured" by the observable X (X denoting the position observable, allowing us to see where the system is within space.) We obtained |s1> as a single state, from a previously superposed (|s> = |s1>+|s2>+|s3>+...)state through an earlier measurement, which collapsed |s> into |s1>, and allowed us to measure the value x1 for its position. In quantum mechanics, all of this information is encoded in the language of vector spaces, as well as linear algebra, and expanded into whats known as a hilbert space (can be thought of as an infinite dimensional vector space).
I'm probably going to get all thumbs down for this, but that's cool, you guys are all the same audience that jerks it to youtube, and probably added a new definition for "poop" or something stupid like that on this site.

A gay porn version of James Bond film "Quantum of Solace", starring Briggsy, the arty genius behind "Briggsy Does Brighton". Special agent Briggs Bond saves the world from "breeders" with the help of Q's laser-guided dildos and butt-plug bombs in between bumming every man he can get his hands on and smoking arty cigarettes.
I'm feeling rather horny tonight Cecil. We simply must go and see Quantum of Phallus with our pants down.

- The amount of comfort. All love and friendship is based in the end on that. When the quantum of solace stands at zero, you've got to get away to save yourself. From Ian Fleming's short story of the same name in the Bond collection For Your Eyes Only.
The Governor paused and looked reflectively over at Bond. He said: "You're not married, but I think it's the same with all relationships between a man and a woman. They can survive anything so long as some kind of basic humanity exists between the two people. When all kindness has gone, when one person obviously and sincerely doesn't care if the other is alive or dead, then it's just no good. That particular insult to the ego - worse, to the instinct of self-preservation - can never be forgiven. I've noticed this in hundreds of marriages. I've seen flagrant infidelitiespatched up, I've seen crimes and even murder forgiven by the other party, let alone bankruptcy and every other form of social crime. Incurable disease, blindness, disaster - all these can be overcome. But never the death of common humanity in one of the partners. I've thought about this and I've invented a rather high-sounding title for this basic factor in human relations. I have called it the Law of the Quantum of Solace."
