Abstract

Quantum mechanics has evolved over the last hundred years and has had a profound impact on other fields. It is poised as a very powerful tool that can drastically improve our ability to carry out scientific research. This paper uses some concepts and examples to show how quantum mechanics influences many interdisciplinary applications. This paper first introduces the development of quantum mechanics to pave the way for the rest of the article. Then, the author selects two inventions to reflect the specific role of quantum mechanics. Finally, this paper also introduces two relatively advanced research areas, one is quantum computing and the other is quantum biology, with the basic framework and a simple and intuitive explanation provided, enabling the reader to see the recent study based on quantum mechanics. Through this paper, relevant researchers can not only draw a framework of quantum mechanics but also clarify some areas of future development.
