In addition to providing a much deeper insight into the world of atoms and subatomic particles than afforded by classical newtonian physics, quantum mechanics underpins advances in science across รขโ‚ฌยฆ Quantum mechanics is the fundamental physical theory that describes the behavior of matter and of light; Its unusual characteristics typically occur at and below the scale of atoms.

Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and matter's interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles. By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale รขโ‚ฌยฆ Quantum mechanics is a powerful framework for understanding the motions and interactions of particles at small scales, such as atoms and molecules. The ideas behind quantum mechanics often appear รขโ‚ฌยฆ The field of quantum mechanics deals with the most fundamental bits of matter, energy and light and the ways they interact with each other to make up the world.
