Quantum Theory: Physics at the Smallest Scales

Quantum theory explains the strange behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic levels.
Particles can act like both waves and particles—a concept called wave-particle duality.
Quantum uncertainty means you can’t know both a particle’s exact position and momentum at once.
Atoms are mostly empty space, held together by quantum forces.
Quantum tunneling lets particles slip through barriers that should be impossible to cross.
Energy in atoms comes in tiny packets called quanta, not continuous flows.
Superposition allows particles to exist in multiple states until measured.
Quantum entanglement links particles instantly across distance, baffling even Einstein.
Everyday technologies like lasers, semiconductors, and MRI machines rely on quantum physics.
Quantum theory underpins the search for quantum computers, promising revolutionary processing power.
