Science Education: The Dance of Quantum Particles
When the modality does not belong to the realities of everyday life and objects start to behave irrationally, we come close to the least known dimension, the quantum mechanics. They are spectral beings, residing in a quantum realm that shields them with the probability mists as if cosmic cloakers. The dance is thus under the command by the mysterious laws of superposition and entanglement. In superposition state two or more, and even in opposite states are simultaneously present whereas entanglement enables the particles to be interconnected with no regards to distances.
Quantum particles cause most of us to question our understanding of reality what we consider as absolute turns out to be sometimes absolute. The fact of being present among them causes alteration their behavior. This is the strangest phenomenon of “the observer effect”. And it is here in this unique universe where quantum computing technology is being developed. This complex technique, based on the feature of bits (“zero” and “one” simultaneously), promises exponential processing power.
As we get into the deep quantum world, we uncover a great complexity where as one instigates to unravel the mystery, paradoxes surface. Every time scientists make a new finding, they reveal one more chapter of the intricacy of the universe, where the movements of particles perfect and continual, continue as if by a dance of a cosmic ballet.
