Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics, also known as quantum physics, is the fundamental physical theory that describes the behavior of matter and of light; the behaviors it models typically occur at and below the scale of atoms, and have often been described as counterintuitive.: 1.1 Its concepts and methods have been applied across many disciplines, including quantum…
