Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics or quantum theory), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental branch of physics concerned with processes involving, for example, atoms and photons. In such processes, said to be quantized, the action has been observed to be only in integer multiples of the Planck constant. This is utterly inexplicable in classical physics.

Quantum mechanics gradually arose from Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem (reported 1859) and Albert Einstein's 1905 paper which offered a quantum-based theory to explain the photoelect

[Stephen] Hawking: Yeah, well, there are some people who spend an awful lot of time talking about the interpretation of quantum mechanics. My attitude— I would paraphrase Goering—is that when I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun. ...more
