Yoichiro Nambu discovered the mechanism of what?

  • Quantum Entanglement

  • Spontaneous Broken Symmetry

  • Particle Acceleration

  • Wave Function Collapse

Answer

Spontaneous Broken Symmetry is a mechanism discovered by Yoichiro Nambu that explains how certain symmetries in physical systems can be broken even in the absence of an external influence. This occurs when the system's ground state has a lower symmetry than its Hamiltonian, resulting in the spontaneous emergence of a preferred direction or orientation.
