The "particle in a box" is a foundational concept in quantum mechanics that serves to illustrate key principles of quantum theory. It describes a simple model where a particle, such as an electron, is confined to a one-dimensional region of space, typically a box or a well with infinitely high potential walls. This model helps to understand how quantum systems behave under the influence of confinement.
