3 Questions
What is superposition in quantum physics?
Superposition is a principle in quantum physics where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously.
What is entanglement in quantum physics?
Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where particles can be correlated in a way that their states are interdependent.
What is the uncertainty principle in quantum physics?
The uncertainty principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot be precisely measured simultaneously.
Study Notes
Fundamentals of Quantum Physics
- Superposition: A quantum state in which a quantum system exists in multiple states simultaneously, described by a linear combination of states, allowing for multiple properties to coexist.
- Entanglement: A phenomenon where two or more quantum systems become correlated, meaning the state of one system cannot be described independently of the others, even when separated by large distances.
- Uncertainty Principle: A fundamental limit on our ability to know certain properties of a quantum system, such as position and momentum, simultaneously with infinite precision, as described by Heisenberg's equation (Δx * Δp >= h/4π).
