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:
(Also: What? No one made the obvious joke about superposition?)
