time reversal symmetry breaking in quantum mechanics
Time reversal symmetry breaking in quantum mechanics refers to a situation where the laws of quantum physics do not remain invariant under time reversal operations. This means that certain quantum phenomena display a preference for moving forward or backward in time, reflecting a violation of the symmetry that states all physical processes are equally valid in both forward and backward directions of time.
