Quantum Mechanics: The Building Block of Reality
Understanding the quantum world and its philosophical implications
Fundamental Concepts
1. Quantum Superposition
Particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured. This forms the basis of quantum computing.
2. Entanglement
Quantum objects can share states instantaneously across any distance. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance."
3. Decoherence
Loss of quantum coherence, explaining why macroscopic objects don't display quantum behaviors.
The Double-Slit Experiment
When unobserved, quantum particles behave like waves, creating interference patterns. Observation forces them to behave like particles.
Quantum Applications
Quantum Computing
Leverages qubits to solve problems unsolvable with classical computers.
- Shor's Algorithm
