Derived from the Latin 'quantus,' meaning 'how much.'

Quantum mechanics explains how tiny things like atoms and electrons behave, which is often different from what we see in our everyday lives.

Quantum mechanics was developed in the early 1900s to explain observations that classical physics couldn't
A quantum bit, or qubit, can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, unlike a regular bit
Scientists are exploring quantum computing to solve problems too complex for current computers

What does 'quantum' mean? It refers to the smallest possible unit of something, like energy
How is it different from regular physics? Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of very small particles, while classical physics explains larger objects
What is a quantum leap? It's a sudden jump of an electron to a different energy level
