Quantum physics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior and interactions of subatomic particles, such as electrons and photons, at the quantum level. The study of quantum mechanics has led to many groundbreaking discoveries and technologies, including transistors, lasers, and MRI machin...
MOST IMPORTANT FUNDAMENTALS
TOPICS OF QUANTUM PHYSICS;
1)QUANTUM MECHHANICS
A branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest
such as atoms and subatomic particles
2) WAVE-PARTICALE DUALITY;
The concept in quantum mechanics that particle can exabit both wave-like and
partial like behavior depending on how they are observed or measured
3)SCHRODINGER EQUATION;
The fundamental equation in quantum mechanics that describes the behavior of
quantum mechanical system including the wave like behavior of particle
4) QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT;
The phenomenon in which two or more particles become connected in such a
way that the state of one particle effects the state of the other even at great
distances
5) SUPERPOSITION;
The particle in quantum mechanics that a quantum system can exist in multiple
states or locations simultaneously until it is observed or measured
6) UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE;
The principle in quantum mechanics that states that the more precisely the
position of a particle is known the less precisely its momentum can be known and
vice versa
7) QUANTUM FIELD THEORY;
, A theoretical framework that combines quantum mechanics with special relativity
to describes the behavior of subatomic particles and their interaction with the
field
8) QUANTUM TUNELING
The phenomenon in which a particle can penetrate through a barrier that would
be classically impossible to penetrate due to its wave like behavior
9) QUANTUM COMPUTING
A form of computing that uses quantum bits instead of classical bits to perform
calculation taking advantage of the superposition and entanglement of quantum
states
10) QUANTUM TELEPORTATION
A process by which the quantum state of one particle can be transferred to
another particle at a distant location without physically transferring the particle
itself
11) QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY
A method of secure communications that uses the principles of quantum
mechanics to protect the privacy of information
12) QUANTUM FIELD
A physical field that is described by quantum mechanics such as the
electromagnetic field or Higgs field
13) BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE
A states of matter in which a group of bosons (particles with integer spin) become
trapped in the same quantum state and behave as single entity
14) FERMI GAS
