SUMMARY
What If our everyday life was based on quantum mechanics? What if macro objects behaved like quantum objects?
If you are in a classroom with 4 chairs, you would appear to a second student, to be sitting on all the seats at once. But as soon as he touches one of the chairs, you appear in one of the seats sitting by yourself. And he is then able to take a seat. You were in a superposition, which is the ability of a quantum object such as a photon, electron, atom or anything sufficiently isolated, to be in multiple positions at the same time until it is measured.
This comes from the Schrodinger equation which contains a term called the wave function. The wavefunction for an object contains all the information that describes the quantum object, such as its position, spin, momentum, etc. Objects can take on almost any value according to the wavefunction prior to measurement. The wavefunction only tells us the probability. But once a measurement is made, the properties of the particle gets fixed to only one of the possible states. Note that a measurement is any kind of interaction and is a physical process that does not require a measurer.
Let’s say you hit a squash ball against the wall in front of you. The ball disappears and shows up on the other side. This phenomenon is known as quantum tunneling. In quantum mechanics, when a quantum object like an electron encounters an energy barrier, like a wall, there is a non zero chance that it will end up on the other side of the wall. This is because its wavfunction extends to all of spacetime, meaning it can in principle end up anywhere, including the other side of the wall.
But can any player hit the squash ball in the first place? If the squash ball is a quantum object, it is subject to the Uncertainty Principle. This principle says that there is a fundamental limit to how precisely we can know certain combinations of properties of a particle, such as its position and momentum. So if the player knows where the ball is, he won't know how fast it's going. And if he knows how fast it's going, we won't know where it is. So taking a swing, he may not hit the ball. This is not due to an observer effect. It’s not a limitation of what we can measure. It is a limitation of what we can know.
If a squash ball machine creates and shoots squash balls onto the wall for practice purposes, you would not actually see any balls coming out of the ball machine. All you would see is balls bouncing off the wall in front of you. What's happening is that the balls coming out of the ball machine are in superposition. They only become localized and visible after they have interacted with the wall in front of you. Before this happens, their location could be anywhere in the court. The various locations would have a probability associated with them. They could even be outside the court due to quantum tunneling.
Why don’t we actually see this in our everyday experience? Why don’t these quantum behaviors appear in our macro world? Do the laws of quantum mechanics apply only at micro scales? No, the laws of quantum mechanics apply to everything. But the effects of quantum mechanics are too small to be noticed.
Subatomic and atomic scale objects act like waves, and so behave like quantum objects. But large objects are made of a huge number of individual waves, since a squash ball is made of almost 10^15 atoms. All these waves of atoms act in a disorganized and random way. Their individual waves interfere with each other, and average out to zero. This disorganized wave-like behavior is called “decoherence” in physics. And this cumulatively results in classical behavior. In order to get a macro object to behave like a quantum object, we would need all its quadrillions of individual waves to be coherent, and behave like one large wave. This is usually not possible.

#quantumatlargescales
But you should know that coherence has been achieved in some large molecules consisting of up to 2000 atoms. Other large scale quantum effects include superconductors, Bose-Einstein condensate and superfluids.

    Saying something is "uncertain" is not an answer to any question. Saying something has a point origin at an event horizon, at least makes an attempt at a definitive answer. You might not like the "observer" explanation, but it is a more rigorous definition of reality. "Limitation of what we can know," vs "limitation of what we can measure" is just semantics. It is the same thing.

    Thanks for the excellent presentation. Another analogy for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle I like to use is detecting audio at different frequencies. You can easily detect the start and stop of a high-pitch noise, light the "high-hat" sound in dance music. Low-frequency tones (20-30Hz) are so spread out that it's far more difficult to tell where they start in time. In typical music, a bass thud is really a short high-pitch impulse followed by the long bass note to give the listener a better sense of when the "beat" starts. Keep up the great videos!

    Nice. That's a good analogy. But aren't the low frequency tones generally pressure waves? Or more correctly, sound vibrations are pressure waves. So, can we consider the Energy-time equation of the Heisenberg's Uncertainty to deduce the analogy you have given? Because I think that Position-momentum uncertainty will become vague for understanding this. What do you think?

    It should be noted, decoherence is often quoted as a solution to why we never see quantum behavior on macroscopic scales, but this isn't the full story. Decoherence is just a term used to describe what happens when a huge quantum system's many parts interact, both with each other and with their environment. Everything gets scrambled up, and the system's parts begin to behave according to classical probability rules instead of the Born rule. What this does model is the emergence of classical statistical mechanics. But there is no mechanism that decoherence provides that explains the quantum measurement problem. As a system begins to interact with its environment, the state of the system, at least in principle, remains stuck is a massive entangled superposition, all the way to the macroscopic level. Interactions by themselves do nothing, according to Schrödinger's equation, to force a system to leave a superposition of states. This only appears to happen (for some reason) once the system interacts with measurement devices. Therefore, it's still an interpretive question, and an unanswered one at that, to ask what the state of the system at large scales.

    Arvin, what a didactically amazing idea!!! I've never seen anything like this before, and such an animation is immensely instructive for looking at the unintuitive wave properties! A tiny nitpick, at 5:50, about the uncertainty principle (UP), it would have been better to say more unambiguously that the UP had been _estimated_ by Heisenberg and _derived_ a few years later; it's simply the Schwarz inequality between conjugate uncertainties in the position and momentum spaces, related by FT-but you know it, whom I'm talking to! I personally know that many physics enthusiasts who try to wrap their heads around QM believe the inequality has been _postulated_ axiomatically, like, for example, the Born rule has. Possibly, the persistent imprecise wording is due to the fact that Heisenberg didn't derive the formula later named after him, as the Stigler's law (formulated and named after Stigler by Merton, naturally) predicts. He only used an order of mag estimation. Too bad we use imprecise “principle,” “rule,” “postulate” etc. in physics. QM is sheer math, with its complex-valued operators and infinite-dimensional state spaces corresponding to nothing in Nature, that, IMO, it would be less confusing-assuming generously that QM _could be_ less confusing-to use “theorems” and “axioms,” as mathematicians do. “Heisenberg's theorem,” “Born's axiom;” no ambiguity :) Owning a 5-string bass guitar with an added low B2 string (~125 Hz), I often use it as an example: if the player slides his finger up or down a semitone, changing the length and thus resonant frequency on this slow-vibrating string, how much time does one need to recover a new note-i.e, the change in frequency? The answer is derived (with a few technical assumptions) with FT and the same bounding inequality on the time and frequency domain uncertainties: exactly 1/4 of the period. It's a warm-up math before the full UP derivation. :)

    In the last month or so, I have seen quite a lot of videos on similar topics to this, of which three have been outstanding. Those three include this one.

    Re the uncertainty principle: I think that's actually one of the least "weird" properties of "quantum world". Because it's simply an inherent property of all waves, not just the wave function. For example, you can observe a very similar thing with sound: you may have a nice tone, which is a sinusoid wave---so you can easily measure its frequency (wavelength) and that's what defines the pitch. But you can't locate a tone to a singular moment---only to an interval in time during which it sounded. On the other hand, a clap or a gunshot is easily pinned to a moment, but you can't really say what's its pitch; as it's just one sound pressure peak, there's no frequency to it... Same thing.

    Really enjoyed the video and the tunneling explanation. Would've loved to see mention of De Broglie's hypothesis/equation. For me personally, it really solidified the idea that these subatomic particles aren't bound to "particle-like" behavior.

    I'm not done yet with the video, but let me tell you, I've been watching stuff about that uncertainty thing. I'm a real donkey at maths, but somehow I love everything about physics and especially quantum. First time I kind of grasp why it's not possible to have both position and speed. Great, really great illustrations...

    As a student of physics I was addicted to your channel, especially quantum mechanics . I have a great curiosity from longtime to know about your qualification I mean in which field of physics you studied so that you motivated to make such amazing and elaborate explanations even though professors don't gave such explanations ;if you interested pls replay...

    Thanks (again) Arvin for this video. I always wondered why the double slit experiment doesn't work for large objects, but is does for electrons, while electrons do also interfere with their surrounding. Of course an electron is much smaller than a tennis ball, but is has a charge and mass and even the smallest interaction should prevent an object (electron) to come in superposition. But now I understand that if an object is not a pure wave function because it exists of many waves that are not in sync, it can not be in superposition.

    An electron is a single wave, and so behaves like a single wave. A grain of sand is trillions of waves that interfere with each other. It no longer behaves like a wave overall.

    This is the first time I have understood why large objects don't act like quantum objects. I was stuck on the idea that it must be a perception problem of different scales of existence but your wave function interference cancelling each other makes sense.
