Study Notes
Quantum Physics
- Study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level, aiming to uncover the properties and behaviors of nature's building blocks.
- Examines very small objects, such as electrons and photons, but quantum phenomena occur on every scale.
- Quantum phenomena can act on larger objects, but may be difficult to detect, giving the wrong impression of being bizarre or otherworldly.
- Quantum science closes gaps in our knowledge of physics to provide a more complete understanding of our everyday lives.
