2. Introduction to quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum...

   e. Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles. By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the moon. Classical physics is still used in much of modern ...

3. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

   Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science. Quantum mechanics can describe many systems that classical physics cannot.

4. Quantum superposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition

   Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that states that linear combinations of solutions to the Schrödinger equation are also solutions of the Schrödinger equation. This follows from the fact that the Schrödinger equation is a linear differential equation in time and position. More precisely, the state of a ...

5. Quantum chromodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_chromodynamics

   e. In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the study of the strong interaction between quarks mediated by gluons. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of quantum field theory called a non-abelian gauge theory, with symmetry group SU (3).

6. Quantum entanglement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

   e. Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.

7. String theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory

   In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary ...
