An extremely specialized area of physics that is really hard to understand, but it does actually make sense when you study it. Trust me, it's fucked up and involves a lot of fucked up math which I'm not going to explain but some of the other definitions on here explain it.

It will fuck up your worldview big time and that's one of the reasons Albert Einstein hated it so much. Can't blame him, I mean, his theory of relativity was supposed to be the one which finally described the true nature of reality and then comes along the double slit experiment and the schrodinger equation which just completely butt raped our current understanding of reality at the time and it's still puzzling today, although many scientists are searching for a grand unified theory which should explain the relationship between relativity and quantum mechanics.

Some of its philosophical implications are fucked up. Many believe it means reality doesn't exist but only our minds do, some believe it means there are parallel timelines/universes to our own, some believe its due to higher dimensions geometrically interacting with ours, some even believe it could imply our universe has some sort of pan-psyche to it. Yeah it gets really fucked. It just goes to show that we don't know shit about our universe.

A branch of physics in which the measurable qualities (position, momentum, energy) of a system are described by "observables." The system, upon measurement by the given observable, after being in a superposition of multiple states, collapses into one of a variety of states allowable by the Schrodinger equation. The exact state the system collapses into, is probablistically determined.

A topic in physics that will fuck with your mind over and over again.

A theory that developed from Max Planck's quantum principle and Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

The quantum principle states that waves (light, infrared, X rays, etc.) are emitted from any body in "packets" known as quanta, rather than arbitrarily. Each quantum would have more energy depending on the frequency of the waves.

The uncertainty principle states that the more accurately you know the position of a particle, the less accurately you can know its velocity, and vice versa.

Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger, and Paul Dirac created a theory called quantum mechanics, which was based on the uncertainty principle. Particles were now thought to have a quantum state, a combination of position and velocity.

In a nutshell, it brought randomness into physics, which many physicists (Einstein, for example) objected. Still, many others accepted it.

A concept in physics concerning the counter-intuitive motion and mechanics of subatomic particles. Despite not applying to anything larger than an electron, quantum mechanics is often lamely invoked by pseudoscientists to justify whatever ridiculous phenomenon they are proposing.

iℏ⋅(∂Ψ(x,t))/(∂t)=-ℏ^2/2m⋅(∂^2Ψ(x,t))/(∂x^2)

Quantum Fetish Mechanics is a rule which states that any conceivable fetish which can be invented or conceived already exists on the Internet, and may have been brought into existence simply by a person thinking of it.
