Quantum Mechanics flashcards are a helpful study tool that contain information about the complex subject of Quantum Mechanics. These flashcards can help students learn and memorize key concepts, equations, and principles related to Quantum Mechanics.
Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It describes how particles like electrons and photons interact with each other and with electromagnetic fields.

quick facts
- Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of very small particles, such as atoms and subatomic particles.
- Quantum Mechanics is based on the idea that particles can exist in multiple states at once, known as superposition.
- Quantum Mechanics also includes the concept of entanglement, where particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle can instantly affect the state of another, no matter the distance between them.
- Quantum Mechanics has led to the development of technologies such as MRI machines, lasers, and transistors, which have revolutionized modern society.
- Quantum Mechanics challenges our everyday understanding of reality, as it suggests that particles can behave in ways that seem impossible according to classical physics.

| Front | Back |
|---|---|
| Wave-particle duality | Wave-particle duality: The idea that particles can behave like waves and vice versa. |
| Superposition | Superposition: when a particle can exist in multiple states at the same time. |
| Entanglement | Entanglement: When two particles are connected and their properties are linked no matter the distance between them. |
| Quantum tunneling | Quantum tunneling: Particles passing through barriers they wouldn’t normally be able to go through. |
| Uncertainty principle | The uncertainty principle states that you cannot know both the exact position and momentum of a particle at the same time. |
| Quantum spin | Quantum spin: Intrinsic property of particles that can be either “up” or “down” and affects how they interact with each other. |
| Quantum entanglement | Quantum entanglement: When particles are connected in a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of another, no matter how far apart they are. |
| Quantum teleportation | Quantum teleportation – Instantly sending information about one particle to another far away particle. |
| Quantum computing | Quantum computing: Using quantum mechanics to process information and solve complex problems faster than classical computers. |
