1. quantum theory

   Quantum theory, also known as quantum mechanics or quantum physics, is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena on a very small scale, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles such as electrons, protons and neutrons. It describes the behavior of matter and energy at this microscopic scale where the classical physics is no longer applicable. The theory is based on the principles of wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, superposition, and entanglement. Quantum theory is complex and predicts some very non-intuitive phenomena that often contradict our everyday experience.
