Behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales, unlike classical physics.
--- Speaker Notes: Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales, differing from classical physics.
The slide outlines the foundational principles of quantum mechanics, starting with wave-particle duality, where particles display both wave and particle characteristics. It further covers superposition, allowing systems to exist in multiple states until observed; the uncertainty principle, preventing precise simultaneous measurements of position and momentum; entanglement, enabling instantaneous influences between linked particles over any distance; and quantization, where energy occurs in discrete levels rather than continuously.
The slide visualizes wave-particle duality through a double-slit setup, where light produces wave-like interference fringes on a screen. It also highlights how particles such as electrons display similar dual behavior, illustrating a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics.

This section header slide introduces the topic of Quantum Entanglement. It features a subtitle explaining that particles' states are linked across distances, defying classical physics intuitions.
Particles' states linked across distances, defying classical physics intuitions.
Quantum entanglement links the states of two or more particles so they cannot be described independently, with measuring one instantly determining the other's state regardless of distance. This counterintuitive correlation, persisting over vast separations, was famously dubbed "spooky action at a distance" by Albert Einstein, challenging classical physics.

The timeline slide on the History of Quantum Mechanics outlines key milestones starting with Max Planck's 1900 quantum hypothesis, which proposed energy emission in discrete quanta, followed by Albert Einstein's 1905 explanation of the photoelectric effect using light quanta. It continues through the 1920s development of matrix and wave mechanics by Heisenberg and Schrödinger, the 1935 EPR paradox questioning quantum completeness, and culminates in the 1980s experiments confirming Bell's theorem and quantum entanglement.
1900: Planck's Quantum Hypothesis Max Planck proposes energy is emitted in discrete quanta, laying the foundation for quantum theory. 1905: Einstein's Photoelectric Effect Albert Einstein explains the photoelectric effect using light quanta, earning him the Nobel Prize. 1920s: Heisenberg and Schrödinger's Theories Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger develop matrix mechanics and wave mechanics, core quantum frameworks. 1935: EPR Paradox on Entanglement Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen question quantum mechanics' completeness via the EPR thought experiment. 1980s: Bell's Theorem Experiments Tests of Bell's inequalities confirm quantum entanglement, ruling out local hidden variables.
The slide, titled "Einstein on Entanglement," features a quote from Albert Einstein describing quantum mechanics' "spooky action at a distance," where entangled particles instantly influence each other despite vast separations. This phenomenon challenges traditional classical views of reality, as noted by the renowned theoretical physicist.
