What Does ECP Stand For?

ECP stands for Exchange Coupled Pair

ECP, or Exchange Coupled Pair, refers to a system in quantum mechanics where two particles, such as electrons, are linked through their exchange interaction. This coupling influences their collective quantum state, resulting in properties that can be significantly different from those of individual particles. ECPs are critical in fields such as condensed matter physics and quantum information, where they play a pivotal role in phenomena like quantum entanglement and magnetic interactions.
