How Quantum Physics Works?

At a basic level, quantum physics predicts very strange things about how matter works that are completely at odds with how things seem to work in the real world. Quantum particles can behave like particles, located in a single place; or they can act like waves, distributed all over space or in several places at once.

What is the quantum theory in simple terms?

Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

What is quantum physics used for?

Quantum physics governs the way the universe behaves at the scale of atoms, electrons and photons. Quantum physicists put the rules of this quantum world to the test and devise ways to stretch their boundaries.
