Does anyone understand Quantum Mechanics?

I know some things about quantum chemistry. I know that it’s different from classical mechanics in that energy levels of electrons in atoms are discrete (take on only specific values) as opposed to continuous (take on all values). Also, electromagnetic radiation has wave-particle duality meaning it can exist either as a wave or as a particle. You really have to have a background in calculus, chemistry and physics in order to understand the basic concepts of quantum mechanics so don’t expect to understand it overnight.
