What is quantum physics?

JSBach

Physics of particles, i.e. tiny little bits of matter and/or energy found in atoms. One of the laws of it says that energy always comes in multiples of a unit (quantum, hence Quantum Theory). It was initially believed that this applied to matter but smaller particles have since been found in the nucleus of atoms. Jun 06 00, 1:02 PM

Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. http://library.thinkquest.org/3487/qp.html Feb 15 08, 9:31 PM

In Quantum physics, what is Kirchoff's Law? When speaking of quantum physics what does "quantum" refer to? Applying quantum mechanics and other advanced theories of math and physics, has any scientist as yet been able to "transport" matter from one location to another without movement through physical space? As I take my pals Baloo and gmack by the hand and show them around my windowless laboratory with its locked doors, I show them a box that may or may not contain a live cat. Ok, you all know what I'm talking about now. Who then, according to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics, was the only person able to look inside this box, and what was the theory behind it?

1 Quirky Quantum and Nuclear Physics Quantum physics is an extraordinary field in every way imaginable. Here is just a taster of the strange way that physics manifests itself at the atomic level. This focuses on wave-particle duality and the nucleus. Enjoy!
