quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It explains phenomena that are counterintuitive in the classical world, like particle-wave duality and entanglement, and provides a mathematical framework to calculate and predict the probabilities of various outcomes in quantum systems.
