Quantum Physics: Visual Lab is a beginner-friendly way to explore the strange and fascinating world of atoms, photons, electrons, and quantum behavior. Learn step by step with short lessons written in plain language. Build your understanding of wave-particle duality, the double-slit experiment, superposition, observation and measurement, entanglement, uncertainty, tunneling, qubits, photons, orbitals, quantum fields, and modern quantum technology. Open the Visual Lab to see abstract ideas in motion. Watch interference patterns form, compare particle and wave behavior, explore superposition, adjust uncertainty, observe tunneling probabilities, investigate entanglement, and visualize a qubit. Check your understanding with lesson-based quizzes and a daily quantum question. Review explanations after each answer, track your quiz accuracy, complete lessons, keep a study streak, and earn achievement badges as you progress. Use the glossary to look up key terms quickly, then visit the scientist timeline to learn about the people who shaped quantum physics, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac, Feynman, and more. Features: - 18 beginner-focused quantum physics lessons - 7 interactive visual simulations - 110 quiz questions with explanations - Daily quantum question - Progress tracking, quiz accuracy, streaks, and achievements - Glossary of key quantum terms - Scientist timeline with short biographies - Plain-language examples, formulas, misconceptions, and real-world applications - Optional lifetime unlock to remove ads and open all premium content Quantum physics can feel mysterious, but it does not have to feel unreachable. Visual Lab turns difficult ideas into clear explanations and interactive moments you can explore at your own pace. Educational note: This app is designed for beginner learning and intentionally simplifies some advanced physics concepts.

Physics Playground turns science into games you play with your hands. Fire a cannon, slide pucks across the ice, fold a protein, crack a cipher, bend starlight around a black hole and forge a star. Every game runs on real physics, chemistry, biology, math or computer science, so you learn by doing, not by reading. 63 GAMES, FIVE SUBJECTS From projectiles, orbits and lasers to entanglement and the Big Bang; atoms, reactions and batteries; cells, genes and the immune system; fractions, fractals and calculus; logic gates, sorting, networks and machine learning. Each game has its own controls and its own goal. PLAY AT YOUR LEVEL Pick Curious Kid, Teen, Undergrad or PhD. Games start on Easy, Normal or Hard to match, and PhD turns off the hints for numbers only play. Free Play lets you experiment with no clock. EARN EVERY STAR Clear stages, earn up to three stars, beat your best score and collect badges. Light up your constellation and unlock the Universe Tuner when you master them all. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Fold it into a tabletop and the hinge aims the cannon. Open it like a book and the game spreads across both halves, with controls on their own side. Close it and keep playing on the outer screen. NEW GRAPHICS, SMOOTH AT 120 HZ Glowing particles, warped spacetime, lensed starlight and live fractals, with haptics tuned to every bounce and blast. GO DEEPER Every game links trusted sources: textbooks, papers, lectures and courses. Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Ask Siri to open a game. No account, no ads, no tracking.
