Research Summary

A conceptual exploration of the foundational principles of quantum physics — including wave-particle duality, superposition, and the uncertainty principle — examining how observation influences physical outcomes and reshapes our understanding of determinism.

Abstract

Quantum physics stands as one of the most profound branches of modern science. It puts up a challenge to classical ideas about the nature of reality. At its core, it describes the dual behaviour of matter and energy, where particles exhibit both wave and particle-like characteristics depending on observation. This study explores the fundamental principles that define quantum physics, including duality, superposition, and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Through the examination of historical experiments, the research highlights how observation itself influences physical outcomes, reshaping our understanding of determinism and causality. It also reflects on the philosophical implications of quantum theory - questioning the nature of existence, probability, and measurement. By delving into the foundational theories proposed by pioneers like Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Schrödinger, this paper aims to provide a clearer conceptual interpretation of how quantum behaviour governs the microscopic universe and ultimately shapes the macroscopic world we perceive.
