Quantum Mechanics: Difference between revisions
Thakshashila (talk | contribs) Created page with "= Quantum Mechanics = '''Quantum Mechanics''' is a fundamental branch of physics that studies matter and energy at the smallest scales, typically atomic and subatomic levels. It departs from classical mechanics by introducing principles such as wave-particle duality, uncertainty, and quantum entanglement, which challenge our classical intuitions about reality. == History == The development of quantum mechanics began in the early 20th century, driven by the need to expl..." |
