Coherent exchange correlation in quantum systems

A number of exchange correlation effects in quantum systems are discussed from a unified point of view. These effects can be observed at both microscopic and macroscopic distances. The analysis of macroscopic correlation effects requires an understanding of the physical mechanism of exchange correlation. This, in turn, requires an analysis of the phase relationships between the wave functions of quantum states that determine the observed physical quantities. The neglect of these phase relationships in the interpretation of correlation experiments gave rise to assumptions such as instantaneous long-range interaction and other similar ideas that contradict the traditional physical principles of short-range interaction, causality, and locality. On the contrary, understanding the physical nature of the correlation mechanism makes it possible to explain these experiments without these kinds of ideas.
