Well, I am not an atheist, but I can say that quantum mechanics is a great introduction to Hilbert Spaces.
It is basically a type of physics that applies to the very small and is primarily mathematical. Essentially, it introduces chance as an essential element in the way physics works, rather than using a totally deterministic model.

No but wikipedia can
In physics, quantum mechanics is the study of the relationship between energy quanta (radiation) and matter, in particular that between valence shell electrons and photons. Quantum mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics with wide applications in both experimental and theoretical physics. The effects of quantum mechanics are typically not observable on macroscopic scales, but become evident at the atomic and subatomic level. Quantum theory generalizes all classical theories, including mechanics and electromagnetism (except general relativity), and provides accurate descriptions for many previously unexplained phenomena such as black body radiation and stable electron orbits.

Exactly how in a Yahoo Answers post can such a thing be explained? We know so little of your skills? Can you solve stochastic differential equations? If you can, then you and I could in fact discuss this. I am not a physicist but I do understand the math as my own discipline uses it. If you have about six years of college math, two to three semesters of statistics and of course a bunch of physics courses, I am sure we could have a serious discussion. Even as a non-physicist, math is math and we could discuss it as thoroughly as any non-physicist could.
It doesn't even require you be an atheist to explain it either. I understood the math even when I was a Christian.
However, you may want to check out the following sites as they may help you on your quest of understanding.

Atheisism?
But you can't even spell correctly and you expect me to believe you'll understand a lesson in quantum physics?

That's like saying that if you are so sure of your religious beliefs, you should know absolutely everything about every religion, past and present.
To understand such a complex topic like quantum physics, you need to spend years and years, and probably a couple of college degree terms, to get to a stage you can explain it effectively.
Not every atheist is a phD physics student, no more than you are a religious scholar, so you'll find most people won't be able to.

Wow. I need to know quantum physics to be an atheist? Whew! The standards for everything are going up these days! How do school children do it?
Oh, and I'm a network administrator, not a physicist.

Quantum physics deals with the energy necessary for an electron to move from one orbital shell to another, and the energy gained or released when this occurs. This energy may be in the form of either visible light, or other wavelengths, including those which we perceive as heat. It's pretty straight-forward stuff - Chemistry and/or Physics 101 for most people who have attended a university.
I'm not quite sure what this has to do with atheism or religion, but there you go.
If it matters, I'm Jewish.

this is something that i discover the two factors are responsible of. this is in basic terms that all human beings is entrenched of their comments and for this reason the comments or perspectives of the opposing factors are perceived in simplistic and as caricatures. i don't think of this is an attempt to lie to, yet is in basic terms human beings arguing approximately issues they are blind to. Examples from the two factors that i've got considered on R&S: - there is surely no data for evolution (besides the actuality that authentic to 3 quantity, i.e. that there is not any singular piece of information that proves it, there's a extensive physique of helping data) - faith is the reason at the back of all wars/greater wars than the rest/greater suffering than the rest. - faith prevents medical discovery - Islam is a violent faith - Medieval Christians have been ignorant illiterate people who believed the international grew to become into flat - concept X disproves evolution... etc etc etc. It gets somewhat uninteresting after a collectively as, by using fact this is obtrusive that maximum folk make claims and counter-claims with out any theory or study and are in basic terms parrotting generally-held yet erroneous homilies.

I'm not a scientist in the field of Quantum Pysics, so anything I tell you would likely not be terribly accurate. I am familiar with some of the ideas of QP, but I am far from versed.
What has this to do with atheism?

An atheist is a person who does not believe in any higher power.
You show me the connection between that and quantum physics and I'll tell you all about it
