a: quantum tunnelling ~
b: quantum teleportation
What:
The kind of 'quantum weirdness' that we tend to regard as separate from our 'real world' can be exemplified by a quantum process known 'tunnelling'. Whereas classical physics maintains that a solid impregnable barrier will not be breached under any circumstances, quantum particles coming up against an obstacle have a finite probability of showing up on the other side. '[Tunnelling] is like a kind of quantum teleportation,'
