QUANTUM PHYSICS | QUANTUM MECHANICS

BY : SATYENDRA KUSHWAHA "Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very differently to macroscopic matter: particles can behave like waves, and waves behave as though they are particles." What is Quantum Mechanics ? Quantum Physics    has a mystique of being complicated and hard to understand, in fact , Richard Feynmann   who won the Nobel prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics said: “If you think you  understand quantum physics, you don’t understand quantum physics” . Which is kind of disheartening   for us because if he didn’t understand it, what chance do the rest of us have?  Fortuitously this quote is a little misleading. We do in fact understand quantum physics really  well, in fact, it is arguably the most successful scientific theory out there, and has let us  ...
