What is quantum physics?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the definition or explanation of 'quantum physics', which is a fundamental branch of physics studying matter and energy at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles.
Answer
Quantum physics studies the fundamental aspects of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales.
Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the fundamental level, explaining the behavior of nature on atomic and subatomic scales. It encompasses strange phenomena that differ from observable macroscopic behavior.

More Information
Quantum physics reveals phenomena such as particles being in multiple states at once until observed (superposition) and the peculiar entanglement property, where entangled particles are connected regardless of distance.
