Introduction: Quantum physics is very probably one of the most counterintuitive theories to have emerged in the field of science in the past century. Looking at the behavior of particles at the quantum level is sure to leave people scratching their heads and wondering what's going on. At the quantum level, things behave in a way that is simply not intuitive from a classical perspective; particles do some really odd things – such as being in two places at once, or popping in and out of existence seemingly spontaneously. In particular, the wave-particle duality – the idea that particles sometimes behave like waves – has long been a mystery signal that seemed to defy explanation. However, over the years, scientific researchers and physicists have been unraveling the secrets of quantum physics. In this article, we will explore the weird world of quantum physics, and try to unravel the mystery of wave-particle duality. What is quantum theory? Quantum theory is a mathematical formulation...
