Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, where classical physics fails to explain phenomena. Key concepts include:
- 🌌 Wave-Particle Duality: Particles like electrons exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties.
- 🔍 Uncertainty Principle: Certain pairs of physical properties (e.g., position and momentum) cannot be simultaneously known with precision.
- 🧮 Superposition: Quantum systems can exist in multiple states at once until measured.
- 🌀 Entanglement: Particles become correlated, such that the state of one instantly influences the state of another, regardless of distance.
