Quantum Tunnelling Powers Everything You Use Every Day
Quantum mechanics isn’t just a strange theory from physics textbooks — it’s the foundation of nearly every technology we use today.
From computers and smartphones to lasers, fiber-optic internet, and even the future of clean energy, modern technology works because of quantum rules. In this video, I explain how quantum mechanics — especially quantum tunnelling — quietly powers the digital world, and why nothing from transistors to nuclear fusion would be possible without it.
In this video, you’ll learn:
How quantum tunnelling makes transistors and modern electronics possible
Why computers and smartphones rely on quantum physics at the smallest scales
How lasers work using quantum energy levels
Why quantum mechanics governs all material behavior
How nuclear fusion in stars — and future fusion reactors — relies on quantum tunnelling
Quantum mechanics isn’t the future of technology — it’s the reason the present works at all.
