Quantum Physics in 7 minutes

Quantum

physics

is arguably one of the most difficult topics to understand, but what if I told you I could explain it to you in 7

minutes

or less? I know you call cat, but let me cook, okay, let's say you and your kid stumble upon an electron ray gun while walking in the park, like any normal person, would you decide to shoot a plate that conveniently has two slots, both only a few micrometers wide? After that, you'd probably go check the screen behind this plate. and you might think that all the electrons would have landed in the same area, but if you and your brother thought that you would both have been wrong, the results of this experiment would look more like this, where the electrons are scattered, however, they would be in areas higher and lower density, this is because the electron beam would break or defract as it passed through the slit and, on the other side, they would emerge as separate waves, as those New Waves moved, they would overlap creating those high-density electron areas without you knowing. and you boy, you would just prove that these electrons moved like waves and particles, something that was only discovered in 1924.

Now, obviously, like any average human being, you're probably thinking to yourself, everyone knows that a subatomic particle. I can't follow particle and wave

physics

at the same time. I say yes, it is possible. Li, brother. You see, back in the 1920s, the goats of what would eventually be known as

quantum

mechanics came around to the function and started theorizing things like Neil's drill. wiwin Schrodinger Warner Heisenberg Albert Einstein Max Bourne and Paul Dyra basically formed what we know today as

quantum

physics. At this point, you're probably pretty confused, we're baffled and maybe even stunned as to what quantum physics is, so now it's such a young man.

As I myself am going to explain a little, basically quantum physics follows this equation called the Schrodinger equation. Think of it as the constitution of quantum mechanics. This formula dictates the wave function of a quantum system which doesn't make much sense right now, but trust me. Later, the only problem with Schrodinger's equation is that it doesn't really explain what that calculated wave function really means and that's where Max Borne latched on to seeing the whole thing about quantum mechanics is that things quantize into In simple terms, this means that you don't know exactly where something will be, but you are calculating the probability that it will be in a certain location.

Max Bourne decided to take the L brother wave function represented by the letter S and square the amplitudes of this wave function that he inverted. the negative part to the positive part of the graph because we all know that a negative number squared is now positive wink wink with this newly obtained graph Max Bourne made a probability amplitude graph that gives the probabilities of an electron being in a given location at a given time This graph is basically the Life 360 ​​of quantum physics. It allows you to predict where a particle will be. Now I will give you an example.

Let's take this graph which has two peaks. This graph would imply that the particle has a really high probability of cooling. here and there, but that would also mean that said particle has some operations in these regions, which means that you would have a hard time trapping particles there if you ever heard the saying that you can't be in two places at once, well, it's C .because as a young jit in particular just showed that you can be in two places at once, assuming you are in a quantum mechanical system, this graph thing is called superp position and it is what allows quantum particles to theoretically be in multiples. places at the same time.

Keeping that theory in mind, you and your child can now begin to address quantum entanglement in simple terms. Quantum entanglement is when two electrons enter a kind of Kur confusion, their waves mixing as their functions overlap in a large graph, those two particles. Now they are those two brothers who are never seen without each other and that new graph can be used to determine where they both are at all times. % of time guaranteed with that probability amplitude graph in mind. This is where Max Born brought it back. Schoninger and Heisenberg together came up with the electron cloud model that looks a little different than the whiteboard diagram you may have seen in science class.

Heisenberg basically said, "Free my electron boy until he's upside down," and in the end they ate and left no crumbs behind. Instead of electrons going around in circles all day, the electron cloud model showed that an electron could basically be wherever it wanted, but it was simply cooling in some areas more than others. Now that I've explained the basics of quantization, let's get into what I want. As I said before about everything being waves and particles at the same time, this absolutely mind-blowing concept is called wave-particle duality and, as the name implies, it shows how everything is both a wave and a particle at the same time, even You and, of course, your brother are waves. but the thing is that the wave part really only applies to the lower brothers of physics which include atoms, subatomic particles, electrons and all that.

The thing with the wave part is that the less mass you have, the greater amplitude your waves will have. For an electron, those waves are life-changing, but for you those waves are abysmal and don't really matter at all. This inverse proportionality between mass and wave function is the basis of Newtonian physics, the reason why all the science brothers had such a difficult time understanding these quantum things is because we could only study what we saw with our own Eyes, we could all see and understand Newtonian particle physics because the things we could see were too big for the wave function to affect anything.

This is why everyone went crazy when we discovered wave-particle duality. Now, Newtonian physics is where Isaac Newton came in with his three laws and his false Ma and all that which are the basic foundations of most of the things in physics that you might know today. There's a big problem with this guy Newton, though he was a pretty solid player, he only played in the G League. You see, these Quantum guys were serious and while Newton was chilling in the mud, the quantum physicists were putting up numbers. record in the NBA. Isaac Newton made a big mistake, he thought photons were particles and he couldn't have been more wrong since you and your brother have been paying attention all this time.

You know that a photon is a low-level particle, better known as light, this means that it moves in a wave in 1924 Newton's terrible hypothesis was refuted by Luis De Broer in his doctoral thesis, he suggested that an electron around a nucleus could be considered as a standing wave and that electrons and all other matter could also be considered as standing waves with this theory of Newton. His career was over, De Brer also came up with his own formula for this appropriately named deer ratio and this ratio is incorporated into the Shoninger equation with this standing wave thing.

Now we can see the formation of the obsolete hole model in which these different electron shells have different integer numbers of wavelengths, if you are confused try to think of it this way, you take the electron wave that we are familiar with and you bend around the nucleus and the protons, but if even a fraction of a wavelength remains and it's not a whole number then it doesn't form correctly, keep in mind that much of this quantum physics is theoretical and obviously there are a lot of things that were not covered in this short video, most of this advanced physics that we have I trust is only about 100 years old today, so really all of this could be wrong, but for now I'm going to trust the scientific brothers, although in I'm actually just a guy who likes science, so if you like the video, be sure to subscribe.
