Summary: Quantum theory is one of the strangest collection of ideas in physics. It describes reality on the subatomic level as being sometimes particles and sometimes waves. However these waves are not made up of energy, but describe the actual particles themselves. In this way, one cannot think of individual particles as “things” having substance (like we normally think of matter) but instead as “waves of probabilities”. Other parts of quantum theory include (1) nonlocality, in which separate particles seem to communicate faster than the speed of light, (2) the Uncertainty Principle, in which you may never know the complete information about a particle (say goodbye to determinism), and (3) quantum tunneling, in which particles seem to “tunnel” through a barrier that they do not have the energy to penetrate. After 70 years, the reason quantum theory remains a popular topic today is that we still do not fully understand the implications from quantum theory. Subsequently there are still many competing interpretations of quantum theory, the strangest of which may be the parallel worlds interpretation.
