Classical to quantum physics. Sequence of computer models showing the progression from classical to quantum physics. At top left, the movement of a classical particle, such as an electron, is shown. In classical physics, the position and trajectory of the particle can be precisely described, along with its energy. In quantum physics, the position and energy cannot be known at the same time. The pa…
