Summary: Ask 10 physicists what a particle is: you’ll get 10 different answers. Quantum mechanics showed via the Schrodinger equation, that quantum objects are not particles but waves smeared out in space, until the moment we measure it. They are described by a mathematical term called a wave-function. It doesn’t tell us where a particle is, but only the probability of where it might be if we measured it
