Study Notes
Quantum Mechanics
- Quantum Field Theory is a branch of physics built upon the foundation of quantum mechanics.
Quantum Mechanics vs. Classical Physics
- The main difference between quantum mechanics and classical physics is that quantum mechanics describes nature at small scales, whereas classical physics is applicable to large scales.
Scale of Nature
- Quantum mechanics describes the atomic and subatomic scale of nature.
Limitations of Classical Physics
- Classical physics cannot accurately describe nature at small scales.
Quantization
- Quantization is the term used to describe the restriction of certain quantities to discrete values in quantum mechanics.
