“What Does It Mean to Understand Quantum Mechanics?”**

Quantum mechanics is often considered the most “incomprehensible” theory in the history of science. It is said that it cannot truly be understood — only memorized through formulas and learned as a set of calculation rules. But is that really the case?

In this lecture, we will explore what it actually means to understand a physical theory and why quantum mechanics, in particular, has acquired an aura of fundamental mystery.

Special attention will be given to the contemporary context: quantum computers, quantum entanglement, and the way abstract ideas are transformed into working technologies. You will see which concepts of the quantum world stand behind real devices — and why their creation does not require mystical thinking at all.
