Description
Instructions:
In a two-page paper, research three examples of technologies that use quantum mechanics. Explain, in your own words, how these applications impact society. If you or someone you know has ever had an MRI scan for a medical diagnosis, you have experienced the result of quantum physics for measuring bodily structures. Finally, provide another specific example from your own life that could be influenced by these applications.
**Use APA format and cite all sources --The specific example from your own life at the end can be made up as long as it's realistic***

Quantum Mechanics Outline
Introduction
A description of what Quantum mechanics involves is discussed. It involves the study of the
behavior of matter when exposed to energy. Matter, in this case, includes the smallest particles of
matter in the form of atoms. Most of the electronic devices used in the modern world rely on the
principles of quantum mechanics.
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The use of the device, MRI is explained as well as its application of the quantum principles. The
MRI is used to observe the internal body organs without the need for an incision. The device
applies quantum physics as it is dependent on the hydrogen atom radio frequency waves, a highintensity magnetic field and a computer system to process an image.
Laser Technology
The laser device amplifies light through the emission of photons in a simulated way. Quantum
mechanics is also used in this technology which is mostly used in the field of computing,
military, welding, and medicine.
The GPS technology
GPS method of operation is explained in this section. The GPS consists of interconnected
satellites that make it easy to determine the location of places or individuals at a given time. This
happens through a process called trilateration.
Personal application of Quantum Mechanics
Examples of the areas I have applied quantum mechanics are explained. For instance, I have
used a barcode scanner, smartphone and a computer all of which rely on the quantum theory.
