Matrix Mechanics

Matrix mechanics is a fundamental concept in quantum physics, a theory that explains how tiny particles, like electrons and photons, behave. It uses mathematical grids, called matrices, to predict the future state of these particles. Each cell in the grid contains information about specific properties like position or momentum. By performing operations on these matrices, scientists can understand the various possible outcomes of a particle interaction, accounting for the peculiar, probabilistic nature of the quantum world. This enables advanced technological applications from microelectronics to quantum computing.
