The concept of quantum was first put forward by German physicist Max Planck. 1899, Max Planck put forward the concept of quantum when studying blackbody radiation. He believes that energy is transmitted discontinuously in the form of quantum, rather than completely continuously.
The development history of quantum theory. Later, physicists such as Einstein and Bohr conducted in-depth research and exploration on Planck's theory, which gradually developed into the basic theory of quantum mechanics. At the beginning of the 20th century, quantum mechanics developed rapidly and was widely used, becoming a vital part of modern physics.
Basic principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is a theory that describes the motion behavior of microscopic particles. There are three basic principles: wave-particle duality, uncertainty relation and quantum entanglement. Compared with classical physics, its theoretical structure and mathematical methods are more complex and abstract, and more challenging and fascinating.
Applications in quantum field. With the rapid development of computer, communication and materials, the quantum field is also booming. Using quantum theory, many traditional technologies have been developed, and many new scientific and technological breakthroughs and innovative applications have also appeared. For example, quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum simulation and other fields have a lot of theoretical and practical research.
The quantum concept put forward by Planck has greatly promoted the development of physics and broadened the cognitive horizon of human beings. The emergence and application of quantum mechanics theory also provides new ideas and directions for human exploration and discovery in the field of science and technology.

Quantum is an important concept in modern physics. That is, a physical quantity is quantized if it has the smallest indivisible basic unit, and the smallest unit is called quantum. The word quantum comes from the Latin word quantum, which means "how much" and stands for "a considerable amount of something".
