The Top Ten
1 Schrodinger Cat Experiment

Created by Erwin Schrodinger in 1935 which was part of the famous Copenhagen interpretation
Explanation:There is a cat inside the box and inside the pack is cyanide after 1 hour the cat is inside the box The consequence is that the cat is either dead or alive(alive and dead at the same time) which it's been carried by the quantum superposition to the creation of the consequence

I read a book on this about five years ago

2 Casimir Effect

My favorite concept of quantum mechanics
Created by Hendrik Casimir in 1947

Explanation:There are two uncharged barriers and inside the uncharged barriers are virtual particles and as the virtual particles act inside the uncharged barriers the opposition force outside the barriers is the consequence of the effect which is called vacuum fluctuation

3 Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

One of the most common theories and most taught in quantum mechanics
Created by Werner Heisenberg in 1927
Explanation:If you acurrately measure the velocity,the less acurrately will be measured the position and created uncertainty due to the measurement and yet the object doesn't exist unless we observe it

4 Photoelectric Effect

Famously Clarified by Albert Einstein in 1905
Explanation:Imagine a lightbulb or other electric sources.The process involved the wave particle duality which makes total sense by the great aspie.photoelectron light waves are heading toward the metal then it reflected off the metal and eventually the reflection of it turns into A set of particles bringing us artificial light

5 Quantum Entanglement

Explanation:A antiparticle and an electron as they collided each other it's called annihilation and yet they are both at zero and one particle is the opposite than the other particle and both particles have wave function collapses which both of them are in a quantum superposition

6 Double Slit Experiment

Explanation:There is a wall with 2 slits and as the light wave passages through the 2 slits they are combined together which it is called constructive interference and most likely a set of particles

7 Quantum Spin

Created by Paul dirac in 1927
Explanation:it's in an 90° angular momentum which the Intristic angular momentum or spin is featured for the elementary particles,composite particles,and atomic nuclei but the unit of the spin is the reduced planck's constant which particles with half integer spins are fermions and particles with integer spins are bosons and yet the origin of the movement of the spin comes from the relationship of magnetism

8 Quantum Computers

It's very interesting that the quantum computer works by the quantum superposition and Quantum entanglement even it's very very fast and involves a matrix

9 Quantum Superposition

Yet it's one of the most controversial concept of quantum mechanics by its origin and altered meaning and it appears on a lot of famous theories on quantum mechanics

10 Hawking Radiation

Created by Stephen Hawking in 1974
Explanation:There are virtual particles near the event horizon both front and beyond one particle is being annihilated immediately and the other escapes.When the black hole gives the electromagnetic radiation to the particle the black starts to evaporate as it gets smaller!
