Did you know that the foundation of our entire existence, from the tiniest particles to the largest galaxies, rests upon the marvelous laws of quantum mechanics? Exposure to this theory is set to fundamentally alter your understanding of the nature operating around us.

In this captivating course, we will turn our attention to the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and explore its far-reaching implications on how our world behaves.

We will begin by introducing the elementary particles – atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons, and examine how they organize into various atomic structures. We will then proceed to understand the behavior of light and the properties of photons, and their influence on other particles. We will explain the concept of energy level quantization and Bohr's model of energy levels.

We will extensively discuss Young's revolutionary experiment – the Double-slit experiment", which transformed the conventional perception in understanding the quantum world. We will present the principle of superposition, and against all intuition, try to comprehend how a particle can exist in two places simultaneously. We will discuss the famous "Schrödinger's cat" paradox, pondering how a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle will also be introduced, and we will explore the reason why our world nevertheless exhibits a high degree of "certainty".
