Kvanttipartikkelilla

Kvanttipartikkelilla is a Finnish term that translates to "quantum particle" in English. It refers to the fundamental constituents of matter and energy as described by quantum mechanics. Unlike classical particles, quantum particles exhibit wave-particle duality, meaning they can behave as both discrete entities and spread-out waves depending on the experimental setup. Examples of quantum particles include electrons, protons, photons, and quarks.

The behavior of quantum particles is governed by probabilistic laws, and their properties, such as position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known with perfect accuracy, a principle described by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Quantum particles exist in discrete energy levels, and transitions between these levels involve the absorption or emission of specific quanta of energy. The interactions between quantum particles are mediated by fundamental forces, which are also understood in terms of particle exchange. The study of quantum particles and their interactions forms the basis of quantum field theory.
