Quantum physics (also known as quantum mechanics) is the branch of science dealing with all things that are very small (on the atomic and subatomic levels) and their quantized nature.
-
Fast Facts
- The term Quantum Mechanics was coined by Max Born in 1924
- The word "Quantum" in Latin translates to "how much"
- There is still a discrepancy between Einstein's general relativity and quantum physics
-
Glossary
- Quantum: A discrete quantitative value used when describing the energy and momentum of subatomic particles
- Wave Function: A mathematical object that describes the states of quantized particles using complex numbers
- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: Limits the amount of information that can be known about a particle's momentum or location. The more that is known about one, the less that can be known about the other.
- Pauli Exclusion Principle: States that there can not be two Fermions with the exact same quantum state
