Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. Unlike classical physics, it introduces concepts that challenge our everyday understanding of reality. Here are key principles:

  • Wave-Particle Duality 🎯
    Particles like electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. View an illustration of this phenomenon.

  • Superposition 🧩
    A quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured. Explore this concept visually.

  • Uncertainty Principle 📏
    Heisenberg's principle states that certain pairs of physical properties cannot be precisely measured at the same time. See a diagram here.

  • Quantum Entanglement 🔗
    Particles become interconnected, and their states remain correlated regardless of distance. Learn more about this here.
