Prof. Susskind gives a great description of how quantum logic is different from classic logic. Watch it several times! I point out how like a magic trick, both Susskind and the first video reply do not focus on what is vital: the coherent source. I am also able to provide a new reason why quantum logic is different from classic logic. It has to do with defining a derivative in spacetime correctly. A classic spacetime derivative can be ordered in time like a movie. A quantum derivative cannot be ordered like a movie. Instead we get all the frames from the movie, and by observing them, we know on average what happens. That is the best we can do.
