The Quantum World: A Visual Exploration

Quantum mechanics is the foundation of modern physics, explaining the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. In this interactive post, we'll explore some key concepts through engaging visualizations.

Wave-Particle Duality

Click the animated box below to see wave-particle duality in action. Particles at the quantum level can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.

Uncertainty Principle Simulator

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that the more precisely the position of a particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa.

Adjust the slider to change the precision of position measurement and observe the effect on momentum precision.
