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.

What does it mean for the electron to be absorbed in electron capture?
In electron capture, when looking at the Feynmann diagram, I'd interpret the interaction as the electron emitting a W boson which interacts with the proton and turning into a neutrino. However, as the …

Can you redirect an electromagnetic interaction with a mirror?
Sorry if this question is a bit naive, but, if photons mediate electromagnetic interactions, can you deflect those interactions with a set of mirrors or gravitational objects? And would this result in …
