The foundations for many of the technological advances in our world today were laid by the scientists Max Planck and Albert Einstein early in the 20th century.

Introduction
Their studies led to the recognition that energy is emitted and absorbedby atoms in discrete amounts – not in a linearly variable manner. This discovery of discrete energy quanta led to the study of quantum physics.
Progress in today’s world, full of microelectronic devices, is driven by this branch of science.

Electronics
Much of modern technology operates at a scale where quantum effects are significant.
Other examples include the laser, the electron microscope, and magnetic resonance imaging.
The study of semiconductors led to the invention of the diode, the transistor, and the microprocessor, which are indispensable for modern electronics.

Quantum Tunneling
Quantum tunneling refers to the phenomenon of a particle passing through a barrier that it should not be able to cross because its total mechanical energy is lower than the potential energy of the barrier.
electron electric field
The electron is repelled by an electric field as long as the energy of electron is below the energy level of the field

Quantum Tunneling
Quantum tunnelling is vital in many electronic devices, being the basis for transistor operation.
electron wavepacket electric field
The wave function of the electron encounters the electric field, but has some finite probability of tunneling through

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a form of medical imaging.

The MRI scanner has powerful magnets, which cause the protons of hydrogen atoms in water to align.An electromagnetic pulse is then produced by the machine that causes the protons to resonate.
The signal given off by the protons is processed and used to build up a picture.

Lasers
Lasers work using the quantum phenomenon known as stimulated emission.

The electron of an atom is stimulated by an incident photon.

When the electron drops back to a lower energy level, it causes the electron to emit a photon that is in phase with the first.
This process goes on to stimulate other photons, and a cascade of identical photons builds up.

Quantum Dots
Quantum dots are tiny particles of a semiconductor material, with a width of about 50 atoms.

Applications of quantum dots include the following:
By controlling the size of the dot, the light it emits or absorbs can be very precisely controlled.
Lighting
Solar cells
Light detectors

The spin of an electron here is represented as up or down. Controlling the spin determines the state of the switch.
Spin
All elementary particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, have a property called spin.
Next >
If you think of a particle as a tiny solid ball, then spin is equivalent to the rotation of the particle about its own axis.

Superconductivity
Superconductivity is a property of a material that allows it to carry an electrical current with zero resistance and, therefore, no losses.Initially, this only occurred in materials at very low temperatures near 0 K. New ceramic materials are being developed that are superconductive at higher temperatures.
Superconductivity allows the creation of extremely powerful magnets, which can be used in Maglev train systems, MRI, and particle accelerators.

Superconductivity
With zero resistance, extremely large currents can flow in electromagnets without creating significant heating effects (I2 R).

An array of light sensors can be used to produce an image.
