Quantum Tunnelling

An inter-spacial sex manoeuvre whereby a moist, warm hole is penetrated with enough irrepressible force from a cherry rocket to break through a seemingly impenetrable barrier.

Quantum racism

Whenever a person of an unknown ethnicity says the "n-word" (either by audio, digital format or said by an ethnically ambiguous person) the offense is suspended in a quantum racist state. Due to Heisenbergs uncertainty principle (aka Dolezals uncertainty principle) the observers can not know for sure if they should be offended or not, as there is a possibility the person who said it is black and/or identifies as black. When the speakers ethnicity is revealed the quantum racist state collapses and the speaker can be labeled as racist or not.
Ex. In a digital chat-forum

Person X: "N-word!"
Observer1: "WHOA! Who said that?! That is NOT OK!"
Observer2: "But wait. We dont know Person X ethnicity? They might be black?"
Observer1: "Damn you are right. We are stuck in a state of Quantum Racism! I do not know how to react."
Observer2: "Hey Person X. What is your ethnicity?"
Person X: "Im black. STFU".

Quantum Physics

The science the "smart" people claim to understand, mentioning things like Schrodinger's Cat and Superposition, yet for some reason don't know how to use the Schrodinger Equation or how to use Eigenvectors in any way whatsoever.
Me: What the fuck are you good at, mate?
"Smart" Person: Ah yes, I am an intellectual expert in the science of Quantum Physics. Truly a master of photosynthesis.
Me: Ah yes, fuck you too.

Quantum Foam

Tiny, foam-like distortions of space-time at the level of the Planck length. If we could peer into the fabric of space time at the Planck length, we would see tiny bubbles and wormholes, with a foam-like appearance.
Our universe may have been born out of a sea of quantum foam.

Quantum superposition

Acclaimed, widely-misunderstood physical principle, used by the media to make sci-fi statements about the nature of the universe and computation theory.

Definition. Quantum superposition:

1. (Informal) If an object can be on two (or more) different states of nature, then it can be on several on them at the same time. Interacting with the object to measure its state will destroy such "wonderful" superposition. This amazing effect is only easy to observe in very small systems with current technology.

2. One of the coolest discoveries about Nature ever made.
3. A synonym used by some famous authority figures for ignorance.

The last two due to complexity theorist Scott Aaronson.

Confer Wikipedia for a more rigorous explanation.
1. In a Hydrogen atom, the electron spinning around the nucleus can live in a 'quantum superposition' of the state of minimum energy and the first excited state. If you measure the superposition in the lab, you measure one of the states randomly!
2. In a quantum computer, a bit can be in a quantum superposition of the values '0' and '1'.
3. The famous Schrödinger Cat illustration: an isolated cat in a box where there is a threat that can potentially kill him is in a quantum superposition of 'alive' and 'dead'. Opening the box would collapse the cat to one of these states. This is actually a mnemotechnic to remember definition 1.

Quantum-minded

A state of mind very close to either madness or dumbness, or fluctuation in between, all of which is determined only by probability.
