Using a selection of key experiments performed over the past 30
years or so, we present a discussion of the strikingly
counter-intuitive phenomena of the quantum world that defy
explanation in terms of everyday "common sense" reasoning, and we
provide the corresponding quantum mechanical explanations with a
very elementary use of associated formalism. Most, but certainly
not all, of the experiments we describe are optical experiments
involving a very small number of photons (particles of light). We
begin with experiments on the wave-particle duality of electrons,
proceed to experiments on the particle nature of light and single
photon interference, delayed choice experiments and
interaction-free detection, then go on to experiments involving the
interference of two photons, quantum entanglement and Bell's
Theorem, quantum teleportation, large-scale quantum effects and the
divide between the classical and quantum worlds, addressing the
question as to whether or not there is such a divide.
