How do i convince my friend that quantum mechanics is real,i have shown him a lot of cool stuff about quantum physics from Seth Lloyd's documentaries. he for some reason wont accept it tho.

Easiest piece of evidence is electron diffraction:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_di…
Although, if he doesn't understand why light causes a diffraction pattern then he won't understand why electrons (behaving as waves) would either.
It's quite likely that he doesn't (nor you probably) have the capacity to "prove" Quantum Mechanics.
The explanation of the hydrogen atom is another very compelling piece of evidence. Solid state physics is yet another.
Bose-Einstein condensate can only be explained through quantum mechanics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose%E2%80%…
I will say this again, Quantum Mechanics is beyond the comprehension of MOST people--so don't get frustrated that he doesn't believe, just tell him that his non-belief in Quantum Mechanics doesn't change the fact that QM is responsible for ALL modern computers:

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." - Albert Einstein
Quantum physics goes against common sense. Ask your friend to defend what's so great about common sense.
Ironically, Albert Einstein never really accepted quantum physics as fundamental either.

i love quantum phyics and i love a lot theoretical physics but idk guess his really religious instead of more science.

going to be many things in world you can't change people mind about. So he doesn't believe it so what, worse things out there.
