At the core of quantum physics is the concept of waveparticle duality, which challenges our classical understanding of matter from "summary" of Simply Quantum Physics by DK
At the heart of quantum physics lies a revolutionary idea that defies our traditional understanding of the universe. This concept, known as wave-particle duality, suggests that particles such as electrons and photons can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on the circumstances. This duality challenges the classical notion of matter as consisting of distinct particles with well-defined properties. In classical physics, particles are viewed as solid, tangible objects with definite positions and velocities. However, in the quantum realm, particles can also behave like waves, spreading out and interfering with each other in ways that are beyond our everyday experience. This wave-like behavior is described by mathematical equations known as wave functions, which represent the probability of finding a particle in a particular...
