Theories of Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of particles at very small scales, like atoms and subatomic particles. It reveals that these particles don’t have definite positions or speeds until measured, instead existing as probability waves. Key theories include wave-particle duality, where particles act as both particles and waves; superposition, meaning particles can be in multiple states simultaneously; and entanglement, where particles become linked so that the state of one instantly influences another, regardless of distance. These theories challenge classical ideas but accurately predict phenomena at tiny scales, forming the foundation of modern physics and technologies like semiconductors and quantum computing.
