Solution

Quantum Observer Effect:

  1. The observer effect is the theory in physics that the mere observation of a phenomenon changes that phenomenon.
  2. The early pioneers of quantum theory were deeply troubled when they first noticed this ‘observer effect.’
  3. The observer effect in quantum mechanics states that when an observer makes an observation, the quantum wavefunction collapses.
  4. The double-slit experiment best illustrates an exceptionally unique version of the observer effect in quantum mechanics.
