Quantum 101 Comic

Curious about quantum? Learn the basics of quantum physics and how NASA plans to use quantum to communicate in space through our Quantum 101 comic.

Quantum physics is the study of things that are very, very small, like the size of an atom and even smaller (an atom is much smaller than the period at the end of this sentence). It is a branch of science that investigates the nature of energy and matter, like the activities happening inside of atoms, in order to make sense of the smallest things in nature.
