Ah, Quantum Mechanics! The mere mention of it sends shivers down the spines of many, and for others, it’s an invitation to a whimsical waltz through the world of the incredibly small, where the usual rules of reality have taken a leave of absence, and in their place, we find a landscape of delightful paradoxes and thrilling impossibilities.
