I have found an article on the quantum behaviour in a classical world. It is talking about wave/particle duality is a quantum phenomenon usually confined to photons, electrons, protons, and other ultra-tiny objects. Also, quantum mechanics has also shows that such objects sometimes behave like particles, sometimes behave like waves, and sometimes like a little of both.
All objects exhibit wave/particle duality to some extent, but the larger the object the harder it is to observe. Even individual molecules are often too large to show the quantum mechanical behavior. Physicists at the Université de Paris have demonstrated wave/particle duality with a droplet made of trillions of molecules. They initiated an experiment to prove their hypothesis.
The experiment involved an oil droplet bouncing on the surface of an agitated layer of oil. The droplet created waves on the surface, which in turn affected the motion of the droplet. As a result, the droplet and waves formed a single entity that consisted of a hybrid of wave-like and particle-like characteristics.When the wave/droplet bounced its way through a slit, the waves allowed it to interfere with its own motion, much as a single photon can interfere with itself via quantum mechanics. Although the wave/droplet is clearly a denizen of the classical world, the experiment provides a clever analogue of quantum weirdness at a scale that is much easier to study and visualize than is typical of many true quantum experiments.
Well, this is just some parts about quantum physics, quantum physics itself is much more complicated than it seems. Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. There are five main ideas represented in Quantum Theory:
Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units.
The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.
The movement of these particles is inherently random.
It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.
The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.
Well, this would be learn in the later part of our secondary life but it would be a good head start for me if I understand some of these. But physics is a subject that entails mathematics inside it, so, I have to master my maths first. :D
