That is a very general question. The answer depends how much detail you want and how much you already now.

Basically, quantum theory is the study of the very small, where it turns out that things like energy and electric charge have minimum values and only come in multiples of those values. In other words, they are "quantised". That basic idea results in a lot of surprising effects.

Then, if you have some more specific questions, feel free to ask.

Quantum physics is a branch of physics that works with the activities going on inside of atoms. They were wondering what was going on inside those things that were once thought to be solid. One big idea they came up with was that the energy of an electron depends on the frequency or wavelength. Scientists now say that electrons behave like waves, and fill areas of the atom like sound waves might fill a room. The electrons, then, exist in something scientists call "electron clouds". The size of the shells now relates to the size of the cloud.

Basically, quantum theory is the study of the tiny little atoms that make up everything, they do not behave like solid objects you see before you, they have their very own set of rules, and this is why they are so fascinating.

Quantum theory is a paradigm ( the foundation of how we think about things ) shift in the way we view reality.
At very small scales, classical physics ceases to make sense, and the only way we can force it to make sense, and agree with observation, is by treating events as probability distributions. 

I get the impression you're young student.
Anything we tell you will presently sound like gibberish.
But if you stay interested eventually you'll learn the math to make sense of it, and one day, far in your future, and probably long after you've forgotten the math, you'll say "Ah-Ha, now it all makes sense.

( Oh wait, that's me )
