Aman is an 18-year-old kid who has a keen enthusiasm for Physics. 

In this blog, he will be publishing posts on the deep and overwhelming topics of Quantum Mechanics with a naive perspective (for the first few posts). 

Writer's Note-

"It is a journey about the subatomic particles which have a strange but amazing nature, which Quantum Mechanics tries to explain. Our aim will be to find out how!"

Why Subatomic Particles Are So Uncertain with Position In Quantum Mechanics?

" Subatomic particles do not just sit around being subatomic particles. "     -  Gary Zuka The Observable Universe which is assumed to be 46.508  billion light years in size is fundamentally made up of 12 particles. Fermions, Bosons, Quarks, Leptons and Anti-particles (there are some hypothetical particles also), more on this later.  The particles have a very strange concept with their position. They tend to be nowhere until we find them everywhere.  Lets understand it with an example of Alex (an ordinary physics boy) who is in a house of five rooms. Our task is to find his location without entering in any of the rooms. Practically it seems absurd but mathematically, we can guess that Alex is probably in any one of the five rooms ( 1/5). Now lets dive into the Quantum Mechanical view of finding the particle in space.  ...

The Measurement Problem: A Naive Start

 Quantum Mechanics is surely hard to grasp at the first instance with the loss of determinism and uncertainty but surely it has to be indeterministic to hold some explanation of the universe.   The Copenhagen Interpretation tells us that the state of the particle is distributed in the space and when we calculate the probability density of it then we observe the position getting collapsed to one. There is this something that collapses the whole probability to 1.  This something is termed as the measurement problem. REFERENCES: 1.  Statistical Interpretation  : Fundamental of Quantum Mechanics
