The '''Pauli–Jung conjecture'''<!--boldface per [[WP:R#PLA]]--> is a collaboration in [[metatheory]] between physicist [[Wolfgang Pauli]] and analytical psychologist [[Carl Jung]], centered on the concept of {{nsl|synchronicity}}. It was mainly developed between the years 1946 and 1954, four years before Pauli's death, and speculates on a {{nsl|double-aspect theory|double-aspect}} perspective within the disciplines of both collaborators.<ref name=AtmanspacherFuchs2014/><ref name=Atmanspacher2012>{{cite journal|last=Atmanspacher|first=Harald|year=2012|title=Dual-aspect monism à la Pauli and Jung|journal=Journal of Consciousness Studies|volume=19|number=9|pages=96–120}}</ref> Pauli additionally drew on various elements of [[Quantum mechanics|quantum theory]] such as [[Complementarity (physics)|complementarity]], [[Quantum nonlocality|nonlocality]], and the [[Observer effect (physics)|observer effect]] in his contributions to the project.<ref name=AtmanspacherFuchs2014/><ref name=Filk2014/><ref name=Cambray2014>{{cite book|last=Cambray|first=Joe|year=2014|chapter=The Influence of German Romantic Science on Jung and Pauli|title=The Pauli–Jung Conjecture and Its Impact Today|editor1-last=Atmanspacher|editor1-first=Harald|editor2-last=Fuchs|editor2-first=Christopher A.|publisher=Imprint Academic|edition=2017|pages=37–56|isbn=978-18454-07599}}</ref> Jung and Pauli thereby "offered the radical and brilliant idea that the currency of these correlations is not (quantitative) statistics, as in quantum physics, but (qualitative) meaning".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Atmanspacher |first=Harald |date=2020-01-01 |title=The Pauli–Jung Conjecture and Its Relatives: A Formally Augmented Outline |journal=Open Philosophy |language=en |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=527–549 |doi=10.1515/opphil-2020-0138 |s2cid=222005552 |issn=2543-8875|doi-access=free |hdl=20.500.11850/448478 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

Contemporary physicist T. Filk writes that [[quantum entanglement]], being "a particular type of acausal quantum correlations", was plausibly taken by Pauli as "a model for the relationship between mind and matter in the framework [...] he proposed together with Jung".<ref name="Filk2014">{{cite book|last=Filk|first=Thomas|year=2014|chapter=Quantum Entanglement, Hidden Variables, and Acausal Correlations|title=The Pauli–Jung Conjecture and Its Impact Today|editor1-last=Atmanspacher|editor1-first=Harald|editor2-last=Fuchs|editor2-first=Christopher A.|publisher=Imprint Academic|edition=2017|pages=109–123|isbn=978-18454-07599}}</ref> Specifically, quantum entanglement may be the physical phenomenon which most closely represents the concept of synchronicity.<ref name="Filk2014" />
