Quantum mechanics describes the microscopic properties of nature in a regime where classical mechanics no longer applies. It explains phenomena such as the wave-particle duality, quantization of energy, and the uncertainty principle and is generally used in single-body systems. Use the quantum-field-theory tag for the theory of many-body quantum-mechanical systems.

To observe a particle in the double slit experiment, do I need to shine light on it?

Usually, elementary particles are not detected using light, nor photons in general. They are detected by putting a "detector" on their path. The particle transfers some of its energy to the detector, …

If the wavefunction is continuous how can the many-worlds be discrete?

I cannot answer, in general, what the persons believing in the many-world interpretation would say about the problem: the interpretation of scientific theories is not a church with an orthodox positio …
