Black holes are surrounded by event horizons, which represent a boundary between the outside world and the inside region. Well known classical description of the problem reveals that a particle, which approaches a black hole, crosses the horizon quite smoothly; the probability to penetrate inside is 100%. However, it was demonstrated recently in Refs.[1,2] that quantum corrections change this conclusion qualitatively. Quantum effects make it possible reflection from the event horizon, which is a surprising result. The reflection is possible for any particle, being stronger for long-wave particles. For sufficiently large wavelengths the particle cannot cross the horizon at all, being predominantly reflected. In other words, the black hole in this situation behaves as a good mirror.

You want to know the effects of quantum mechanics, and also the effects of the effects? Say what?
