Quantum Physics: The World of the Tiny
Enter the Quantum Realm
Quantum physics explores how the tiniest particles in the universe behave—things like electrons, photons, and atoms. At this scale, the rules get really weird!
Strange but True
- Particles can be in two places at once (superposition).
- Observing something can change what it does (the observer effect).
- Particles can be instantly linked, even far apart (entanglement).
Importance of Quantum Physics
Quantum physics powers lasers, computers, and even the sun. Understanding these tiny building blocks helps us develop new technologies like quantum computers.
Examples
Lasers in barcode scanners work using quantum principles.
Quantum computers use the superposition of particles to solve problems fast.
In a Nutshell
Quantum physics explains the strange rules that tiny particles follow, leading to amazing technology.
