Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level. It aims to uncover the properties and behaviors of the very building blocks of nature. While many quantum experiments examine very small objects, such as electrons and photons, quantum phenomena are all around us, acting on every scale.

In quantum physics, particles can be thought of as waves, and their behavior is described by mathematical equations that involve Q. 2. Q is related to the frequency of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies have higher values of Q, meaning they carry more energy.

Quanta with mass, such as electrons and protons, are best described by waves, not as particles. This is because these particles have wave-like properties, such as wavelength and frequency, which can be described by mathematical equations known as wave functions.
