Quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, atoms and subatomic particles. It defies classical intuition, introducing concepts like wave-particle duality, quantum entanglement, and superposition, where particles can exist in multiple states at once. Developed in the early 20th century, it underpins much of modern technology, from semiconductors to quantum computing, and continues to reveal surprising insights into the nature of reality. Stay updated here with the latest research breakthroughs and discoveries in quantum theory, experiments, and applications.
