    Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that explains the really small things. These really small things, such as electrons are studied in an attempt to find out how they behave under certain conditions. Findings from the studies are then used to explain how the small particles make up and relate to the bigger parts of the world. Without the discovery of quantum mechanics, the behavior of small things and how they make up everything would be unknown. Plank sparked the discovered Quantum mechanics

    Quantum Mechanics Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic particles and their behavior patterns that are observed in nature. As the foundation of scientific knowledge approached the start of the twentieth century, problems began to arise over the fact that classic physical ideas were not capable of explaining the observed behavior of subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist Neils Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model of the atom that began the process of a more defined

    Quantum mechanics was developed over many decades ago,Quantum mechanics is science dealing with the behaviour of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents—electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more particles. This type of physics beginning as a set of controversial mathematical explanations of experiments that the math of classical mechanics could not explain. It began at the turn of the

    of the four fundamental forces Nuclear,Electromagnetic,Weak, Gravitational first three are modelled as discrete quantum field while last one as continuous classical field. As one can 't consistently couple a classical system to quantum one this leads to the need of quantum mechanical description of the gravity. But there are still loopholes in our present theories of quantum mechanics so one should aim at their modification prior to unification. This motivates us to start from the fundamentals and

    Quantum Mechanics The Quantum Mechanics are weird, yet incredibly powerful theory of the subatomic world, in which everyday concepts to do with the forces and motion are seen in a different perspective, as they do not longer apply in the same way. This calls for a new type of mechanics based on what scientists call "quantum" rules. Quantum mechanics are a very complicated matter that scientists don't fully understand yet; they are in charge of studying the smallest faces of our world. The idea

    Introduction Quantum mechanics or also known as quantum physics is a field of science which studies the behaviour of particles at sub-atomic level. This theory tells us that short-lived pairs of particles and their antiparticles are constantly being created and destroyed in an apparently empty space. In quantum mechanics the weird behaviour of electrons are not accurately explained and until now not a single theory is acceptable by the whole scientific community to postulate the phenomena. The

    de Broglie wavelength was embedded into the Bragg condition, the watched diffraction example was anticipated, in this way tentatively affirming the de Broglie speculation for electrons. This was an essential bring about the advancement of quantum mechanics. Exactly as the photoelectric impact showed the molecule nature of light, the Davisson– Germer examination demonstrated the wave-nature of matter, and finished the hypothesis of wave-molecule duality. For physicists this thought was paramount

    Causality, Hume, and Quantum Mechanics It is my intention, in the course of this essay, to take the work of David Hume and reapply it to causality using quantum mechanical theory. When I refer to causality, I am referring to the belief that events have a relationship of action "A" causing action "B" where "A" is considered to be the final cause of "B." I also refer to the belief that we can know and understand these causal relationships and thusly know how the system works. This is

    Megan Griffin Quantum Mechanics Quantum mechanics is an account of how things rendition on an extremely small level. “Protons, Neutrons, and electrons are not balls of matter, but more like little concentrations of energy. According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, if we look at or measure the position of an electron, then other crucial information about it is lost. Also, at the moment we observe it, it basically gives that electron a position and identity in the realm of the natural”

    fundamental and yet unintuitive concepts in quantum mechanics. Maximally entangled two-qubit states, often called Bell states, where shown to violate classical (local) correlation properties [33, 34] and are an essential building block for quantum communication and distributed quantum computation. Unfortunately, such entangled states are also difficult to generate and sustain as interaction with a noisy environment typically leads to rapid loss of their unique quantum properties. In the context of QSC, such
