quantum mechanics and locality

Quantum mechanics refers to the branch of physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. It encompasses principles such as superposition and entanglement, which challenge our classical intuitions. Locality, in the context of quantum mechanics, implies that physical interactions are limited to objects or particles that are in close proximity to each other. It suggests that distant objects cannot directly influence each other instantaneously. The concept of quantum mechanics and locality is often debated due to contradictory experimental observations. While quantum mechanics allows for non-local phenomena through entanglement, some theories propose hidden variables to restore locality.
