Study Notes
Foundations of Quantum Physics
- Quantum mechanics is the foundation of quantum physics, including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.
Difference from Classical Physics
- Quantum mechanics differs from classical physics in its underlying principles and behavior.
Uncertainty Principle
- The uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics limits our ability to precisely know certain properties of a particle, such as position and momentum, simultaneously.
Classical Approximation
- Classical mechanics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large (macroscopic) scales.
Scales of Nature
- Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of nature at the atomic and subatomic level, focusing on the smallest scales of matter and energy.
