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