Abstract

En 中文
The Sun is far more than our source of light and heat; it is a natural quantum laboratory where processes ranging from nuclear fusion to radiation-matter interactions unfold under unique conditions (stellar ambients). Quantum mechanics governs the processes of fusion in the core, the spectrum of photons emerging from the photosphere, and the subtle polarization signatures imprinted in the solar atmosphere. These effects not only sustain life on Earth but also provide fundamental tests for quantum physics itself. In this article, we explore how quantum principles shape the Sun's behavior, how solar studies have advanced our understanding of quantum mechanics, and how these insights now inspire technologies from neutrino detection to photovoltaics and quantum information science.
