Quantum Mechanics - Part 2: Crash Course Physics

The video explores the concept of wave-particle duality, initially applied to light and later extended to all matter by Louis De Broglie. It discusses experiments with electrons that confirmed this duality, explaining why we don't observe wavelengths in everyday objects. The video delves into quantum mechanics, focusing on probability, wave functions, and Schrodinger's equation. It also covers quantum superposition, illustrated by Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, highlighting the inherent limits in measuring particles' position and momentum.
