Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the mind-bending implications of quantum mechanics at macroscopic scales in this engaging 14-minute video. Delve into fundamental quantum concepts like superposition, quantum tunneling, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and discover how they would manifest in everyday objects like squash balls. Learn why quantum effects are typically not observed in the macro world and understand the concept of decoherence. Examine real-world examples of large-scale quantum phenomena, including superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates. Gain a deeper appreciation for the bizarre nature of quantum mechanics and its potential applications beyond the microscopic realm.
