Quantum particles can exist in 2 places at once... or 3 or more. In a quantum movie theater, you wouldn’t have to choose whether to sit in the front row, middle row, or back row - you could sit in all three places at once!
In the quantum realm, particles are waves and waves are particles. Things we take for granted about how the world works no longer seem to apply, and the line between what is and what is not gets blurred.
800 trillion hydrogen atoms could fit on the head of a pin. We often think of the universe as immeasurably large. But it’s also extraordinarily small.
Quantum materials allow us to harness esoteric quantum phenomena like entanglement, superposition, and exotic new particles for technological purposes. As we create new quantum materials, the possibilities are limitless.
