"Prince Louis De-Broglie, hypothesised that if waves could exhibit particle-like properties, then might particles also exhibit wave-like properties? This idea is expressed as particle-wave duality and allows us to give the electron a wave number k."

∙ 13y agoQuantum is the minimum amount of something - the minimum amount (portion) of an entity, which can't be divided any more.Also - the quanta are ''allowed'' values - that means that between the quanta exists values of the same entity which are not allowed and simply can't exist.

When was Principles of Quantum Mechanics created?
Principles of Quantum Mechanics was created in 1930.
Why it is said relativistic quantum mechanics?
The distinction is sometimes made to distinguish normal quantum mechanics (which does not incorporate special relativity) and quantum field theory (relativistic quantum mechanics). Since we know special relativity is correct it is the relativistic form of quantum mechanics which is true, but non-relativistic quantum mechanics is still used, because it is a good approximation at low energies and it is much simpler. Physics students typically study regular quantum mechanics before moving on to quantum field theory.
Is newton known for quantum mechanics?
The concepts of quantum mechanics were not explored until the 20th century. Newton only lived into the 18th century, so Newton did no work on quantum mechanics.
What is a mixed state in quantum mechanics?
The mixed state in quantum mechanics is the statistical ensemble of the pure states.
Is quantum mechanics a set of fields or is it just a lone branch of mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is a separate branch of physics. It is a general term given to all quantum physics. There are many subbranches, for example Quantum chronodynamics which describes the strong nuclear interaction.
Who created Quantum Mechanics and is it true that it is replacing the old physics?
Quantum Mechanics "replaced" Classical Mechanics in particle physics in mid-1930s.
What is a sentence for quantum?
The study of quantum mechanics can be quite difficult for some students.
What is the Alternative to the Quantum Mechanics theory?
There is no reasonable alternative to quantum mechanics, at least not something that can even compare with the predictive power and experimental accuracy as quantum theory. If you want to make predictions about things happening at small scales you cannot do without quantum mechanics. Also note that certain models which are now considered as possible theories of everything (e.g. string theory) all expand upon quantum mechanics, they do not make quantum mechanics invalid or unnecessary.
What is quantum technology?
Quantum applied science is a young discipline of physics and technology, which transitions, some of the stranger characteristics of quantum mechanics, especially quantum entanglement and most recently quantum tunneling, into virtual applications such as quantum computing, quantum coding, quantum simulation, quantum metrology, quantum sensing, and quantum imaging.
Why plasma is not explained with quantum mechanics?
I am not aware of it "not being explained". I would guess that you can explain the relevant aspects with quantum mechanics.
What was The idea that light can act as packets led to what new field of science?
Quantum mechanics
What is a quantum mechcanics?
Quantum mechanics is the description of the Universe, mainly on very small scales, as in subatomic particles. It has many weird aspects, that we are not accustomed to in our daily (large-scale) life.You can read an introduction to quantum mechanics, among other things, in the Wikipedia article "Introduction to quantum mechanics".
