You may be familiar with the concept of "Schrödinger's cat 😻 ." Schrödinger, a physicist, proposed a theoretical experiment in which a cat is placed in a chamber with a small amount of radioactive substance. The substance may or may not decay, triggering a poison that would kill the cat. Until the chamber is opened, the cat exists in a state of uncertainty, being both dead and alive simultaneously. How does Quantum Physics differ from Classical Physics? This thought experiment is often used to explain the fundamental principles of quantum physics, which describes the behaviour of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels. Quantum physics differs from classical physics, which describes the world at the macroscopic level, in more ways than just scale. Quantum physics often challenges our intuitive understanding of how the world works. SUPERPOSITION IN QUANTUM PHYSICS: In classical physics, an object is assumed to be in a single definite state at any given time (e.g., a c...
