Quantum physics can seem pretty intimidating, especially with all the complex terms that can be off-putting if you haven’t studied physics before.
But don’t worry! You don’t need to be a physics expert to get a basic idea of what some of the core ideas of quantum physics are. We can explain many quantum concepts using simple examples from everyday life. These explainers are here to give you a simple introduction to quantum concepts, even if you don’t know much (or anything) about quantum physics. The explanations are designed to give you a starting point to learn more if you want to dive deeper at a later point in time. Have fun exploring!
