Object complementarity principle
The complementarity principle is a foundational quantum mechanics concept stating that objects like electrons or photons exhibit mutually exclusive properties (such as wave-like and particle-like behavior) that can only be observed in different experimental setups, yet together provide a complete description of the system.

NER Named-entity recognition gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input
Phrase: complementarity principle | Statement: [Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, coreConcept, complementarity principle]

Target entity: complementarity principle
Context triple: [Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, coreConcept, complementarity principle]
  • A. uncertainty principle
    The uncertainty principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics stating that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot both be known to arbitrary precision simultaneously.
  • B. Pauli exclusion principle
    The Pauli exclusion principle is a fundamental quantum rule stating that no two identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously, underpinning the structure of atoms and the behavior of matter.
  • C. Babinet's principle
    Babinet's principle is a fundamental concept in wave optics stating that the diffraction pattern from an opaque object is identical to that from a complementary aperture of the same shape, apart from the overall intensity.
  • D. equivalence principle
    The equivalence principle is the foundational idea in relativity that locally, the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from those of acceleration, unifying gravitational and inertial mass.
  • E. Franck–Condon principle
    The Franck–Condon principle is a rule in molecular spectroscopy that explains the intensity distribution of vibronic transitions by assuming electronic transitions occur much faster than nuclear motion, making vertical transitions between vibrational states most probable.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
