The Basics of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics describing the physical properties of nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles. 🌌⚛️
Unlike classical physics, quantum mechanics features phenomena such as wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle, which can be mind-boggling!
Key Concepts
- Wave-Particle Duality: The concept that every particle or quantic entity may be partly described in terms not only of particles, but also of waves.
- Uncertainty Principle: A variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of properties of a particle can be known simultaneously.
- Quantum Entanglement: A physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the others.
