Class Notes: Basics of Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy

on the atomic and subatomic scale.

Key Principles:

1. Wave-Particle Duality: Particles exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior.

2. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: It's impossible to simultaneously measure the exact position and momentum

of a particle.

3. Superposition: A quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured.

Important Equations:

- Schrödinger Equation: Describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes over time.

- Planck's Equation: E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency.

Applications:

- Quantum Computing

- Cryptography

- Medical Imaging

Conclusion:

Quantum mechanics revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world and continues to inspire advancements

in technology and science.
