I have a basic understanding of QM, i.e the experiments and some results, photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, double slit experiment; heisenburg uncertaintly principle, de broglie hypothesis, blackbody, spectroscopy and the schrodinger equation, of which I can kind of pin together as an understanding of what it is.
What I'm asking is how do you explain what quantum physics is to someone who doesn't do physics?
I got asked by someone in town and all I could say what it's about the quantization of energy and the wave-particle duality of matter on a very small scale. This didn't satisfy the question.What would you say?
Also is there any experiments/phenomenon I've missed?
Thanks
