Abstract
Quantum Mechanics is the very successful theory on which our understanding of the “microscopic” world is based. However, the weltanschauung put forward by Quantum Mechanics clashes with the familiar rules of the “macroscopic” world in which we customarily live in. In this essay, after briefl y recapping the history of the origin of Quantum Mechanics, I will describe the three major points of departure between the classical and quantum-mechanical description of the world, namely the superposition principle, the complementarity principle and the phenomenon of entanglement. Th ese concepts are introduced by a constant comparison between ideal and actual experiments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
