Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the fascinating world of quantum mechanics in this 13-minute video that challenges common misconceptions about particle behavior. Delve into the true nature of superposition, wave-particle duality, and the measurement problem in quantum physics. Learn why particles are not actually in multiple places simultaneously and discover how probability waves describe quantum objects before measurement. Examine the double-slit experiment to understand the evidence for superposition and gain insights into what quantum objects might look like in three dimensions. Uncover the mysteries of quantum behavior when no one is looking and grasp the fundamental concepts that shape our understanding of the quantum realm.
