Quantum Mechanics Intro

     To some, quantum mechanics would seem scary, but a better word might be "spooky" because weird things happen at a subatomic scale. Quantum mechanics, quantum theory, or quantum physics is a fundamental theory that describes nature at it's smallest. Quantum mechanics arose from a need to explain observations which could not be reconciled with classical physics. Early contributors include Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrodinger, Max Born, and Werner Heisenberg. Applications of quantum theory include chemistry, optics, computing, super conducting magnets, light emitting diodes, lasers, microprocessors, etc., etc. For an explanation of quantum theory in 60 seconds, go here:
