My personal dictionary has, for some reason, two entries for *'otlhQeD.* One glosses it as *quantum mechanics, quantum theory* and gives its origin as qepHom 2014, the other glosses it as *quantum physics* and gives its origin as qepHom 2015. Can someone tell me whether I've got this right? My email archives only find the word *'otlhQeD* in a message by De'vID on November 16, 2014, wherein he gives the *quantum mechanics, quantum theory* meaning. I have no saved images from qepHom 2015.
That's because it was revealed twice. In 2014, it was defined as "quantum mechanics, quantum theory", and {'otlhtej} was also glossed as "the corresponding scientist, someone who studies quantum mechanics" (which, admittedly, can't be used as an independent definition). In 2015, in a list of words related to chemistry (on p. 13 of the qepHom booklet), it was defined again as "quantum physics" and {'otlhtej} was defined as "quantum physicist". The two definitions don't contradict each other. The KLI new words list should be corrected. Here's a photo proving it was revealed in 2014: https://www.instagram.com/p/ulNOIKphJt/ (Also: What? No one made the obvious joke about superposition?) -- De'vID
