In comparison to classical physics, quantum physics predicts that the properties of a quantum mechanical system depend on the measurement context, i.e., whether other system measurements are carried out. Physicists have for the first time proven in a comprehensive experiment that it is not possible to explain quantum phenomena in non-contextual terms.
