¿Qué es la mecánica cuántica?

The video explores the evolution of quantum mechanics, starting with Planck's quantum theory to solve the ultraviolet catastrophe. It discusses Einstein's application of quantum theory to the photoelectric effect, leading to his Nobel Prize. Bohr's atomic model is introduced, highlighting quantized electron orbits. The wave-particle duality of light is examined through the double slit experiment. Finally, the video delves into Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the concept of quantum indeterminacy, including Schrodinger's cat thought experiment.
