    Quantum physics is the branch of physics that studies matter at the smallest scales, where particles behave according to quantum mechanics rather than classical physics. Key aspects include particles exchanging energy in discrete amounts called quanta, and the probabilistic nature of particle positions. Experimental evidence supporting quantum theory included resolving the ultraviolet catastrophe from blackbody radiation. Today, quantum physics underlies fields like atomic and nuclear physics and has applications in electronics, medicine, and computing. While very successful, quantum mechanics and general relativity remain inconsistent theories at the highest scales.

    QUANTUM PHYSICS

    What is it ??
    Is the branch of physics that studies the

    behavior of matter when the dimensions is to small .

    The particles exchange energy in integer

    multiples of a minimum amount possible, called quantum (quantum) energy.


    The position of the particles is defined by a function that describes the probability that the particle is in such a position at that instant

    Experimental ratification
    According to classical physics, the energy

    radiated by a black body, an object that absorbs all the energy incident upon it, was infinite, which was a disaster

    Applications of Quantum Theory *atomic, subatomic and nuclear *electronics *medical instrumentation *computing

    The modern world of physics is based notably

    on two main theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, although both theories seem to contradict each other.
