Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
Welcome to the fascinating world of quantum mechanics! 🌌 In this article, we will explore the fundamental concepts that form the basis of quantum theory. Quantum mechanics describes the physical properties of nature at the smallest scales, such as subatomic particles. 🧪
The Quantum World
Quantum mechanics emerged in the early 20th century, with the revolutionary work of scientists such as Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and many others. Their insights challenged classical physics and led to new understandings of the atomic and subatomic world. 🌟
Key Concepts
- Wave-Particle Duality: Particles such as electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.
- Uncertainty Principle: Formulated by Werner Heisenberg, it states that certain pairs of properties, like position and momentum, cannot both be known to arbitrary precision.
- Quantum Entanglement: A phenomenon where particles become interconnected, and the state of one instantly influences the state of another, regardless of distance. ⚛️
