Quantum Fundamentals

Quantum Fundamentals is a section within the ABC Compute Forum that focuses on the core principles and concepts of quantum mechanics. This page provides an overview of the fundamental ideas in quantum physics and their implications.

Basic Concepts

• Wave-Particle Duality: Particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.
• Uncertainty Principle: It is impossible to simultaneously know both the exact position and momentum of a particle.
• Quantum Superposition: A quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously until it is observed.

Applications

Quantum mechanics has led to the development of various technologies, including:

• Quantum Computing: A new type of computing that uses quantum bits or qubits.
• Quantum Cryptography: A method of secure communication that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics.
