What is Quantum Physics?

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level. It aims to uncover the properties and behaviors of the very building blocks of nature.

Key Concepts

  • Wave-Particle Duality
  • Superposition
  • Quantum Entanglement
  • Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
  • Wave-Particle Duality

    One of the most mind-bending concepts in quantum mechanics is that particles like electrons and photons can exhibit characteristics of both waves and particles. This was famously demonstrated in the double-slit experiment.

    Applications

    Quantum physics has led to numerous technological advancements, including:

  • Lasers
  • Transistors (the basis of modern electronics)
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
  • Quantum Computing (an emerging field)
  • This lesson will provide an overview of these concepts and more, preparing you for deeper dives into this exciting field.
