Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Philippians 4:8
Quantum physics (sometimes called quantum mechanics) is the branch of physics that explains how the invisible particles that constitute Matter behave and the forces with which they interact.
Quantum physics operates in the invisible realm of sub-atomic particles which cannot be seen with the naked eye. It provides the modern explanation for how atoms work, and why chemistry and biology function as they do. From quantum mechanics, we learn how electrons move through a computer chip, how photons of light get turned into electrical current in a solar panel or amplify themselves in a laser, or how the sun keeps burning.
Although modern scientists can learn a great deal from quantum physics, it can also--and often does--give them huge headaches. For instance, there is no single quantum theory, which means scientists have had to innovate and adapt to alleviate their headaches.
Quantum mechanics was developed in the 1920s by Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger, and others who developed the basic mathematical framework that underpins theoretical quantum physics.
It characterizes simple things such as how the position or momentum of a single particle or group of few particles changes over time. But to understand how these things work, quantum mechanics must be combined with Alber Einstein's special theory of relativity.
