swimstereo Quantum tunneling allows microscopic particles to pass directly through barriers that should block them.
swimstereo Erwin Schrödinger created a thought experiment involving a cat to show how absurd quantum rules seem.
swimstereo Match colorful quarks under the big top to figure out how matter is made.
Sun power: Our Sun would not shine without quantum tunneling, which allows hydrogen atoms to overcome repulsive forces and fuse together.
According to the Uncertainty Principle, what two properties of a particle cannot be known precisely at once?
What happens to a quantum superposition when a scientist makes a measurement or observation?
What is the term for a quantum particle existing in multiple states at the same time?
What mathematical equation describes how the quantum wave function of a system changes over time?
Which animal did Erwin Schrödinger use in his famous 1935 thought experiment about superposition?
