Important properties of quantum mechanics include wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement. Wave-particle duality suggests that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior. Superposition refers to the ability of quantum systems to exist in multiple states simultaneously. Entanglement describes the phenomenon where the states of two or more particles become correlated and cannot be described independently.
There are many important quantum mechanic properties of particles. Some of them include spin, isospin, momentum, mass, rest mass, electrical charge, colour charge, quark structure (only hadrons) wave function (wave - particle duality), strangeness, interactions (electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear interaction, gravity) etc. There are many more.
Quantum mechanics and relativity are both parts of the same puzzle: how the universe works. They are both equally important, because they both explain things that are not explained by classical physics.
The mixed state in quantum mechanics is the statistical ensemble of the pure states.
Classical Mechanics and Wave Theory.
QM isn't suitable for large systems as they have properties which can be seen where at the subatomic level you can say with more ease that nothing has any exact properties.
There is no reasonable alternative to quantum mechanics, at least not something that can even compare with the predictive power and experimental accuracy as quantum theory. If you want to make predictions about things happening at small scales you cannot do without quantum mechanics. Also note that certain models which are now considered as possible theories of everything (e.g. string theory) all expand upon quantum mechanics, they do not make quantum mechanics invalid or unnecessary.
Quantum technology is an emerging field of physics and engineering, encompassing technologies that rely on the properties of quantum mechanics, especially quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and quantum tunneling.
Principles of Quantum Mechanics was created in 1930.

The distinction is sometimes made to distinguish normal quantum mechanics (which does not incorporate special relativity) and quantum field theory (relativistic quantum mechanics). Since we know special relativity is correct it is the relativistic form of quantum mechanics which is true, but non-relativistic quantum mechanics is still used, because it is a good approximation at low energies and it is much simpler. Physics students typically study regular quantum mechanics before moving on to quantum field theory.
The concepts of quantum mechanics were not explored until the 20th century. Newton only lived into the 18th century, so Newton did no work on quantum mechanics.
The mixed state in quantum mechanics is the statistical ensemble of the pure states.
Quantum Mechanics "replaced" Classical Mechanics in particle physics in mid-1930s.
It is also called wave mechanics because quantum mechanics governed by Schrodinger's wave equation in it's wave-formulation.
Classical Mechanics and Wave Theory.
Yes, a particle can be diffracted. Some of these are electrons and neutrons .This is a quantum mechanics theory stating that particles can exhibit wavelike properties.
Quantum mechanics is a separate branch of physics. It is a general term given to all quantum physics. There are many subbranches, for example Quantum chronodynamics which describes the strong nuclear interaction.
