Quantum mechanics, science dealing with the behavior of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents—electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more esoteric particles such as quarks and gluons.
Quantum mechanics helps us understand chemistry, because it explains how atoms interact with each other and form molecules. Many remarkable phenomena can be explained using quantum mechanics, like superfluidity.

This chapter gives a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics can be thought of roughly as the study of physics on very small length scales, although there are also certain macroscopic systems it directly applies to.
Derive the Heisenberg equations of motion for the creation and annihilation operators in the simple harmonic oscillator and show that their solution is. a(t) = a(0)e i!t ; ay(t) = ay(0)ei!t : (370) From these, obtain equations of motion for the position and momentum operators.
Introduction to quantum mechanics How quantum mechanics is important in the everyday world, the bizarre aspects and continuing evolution of quantum mechanics, and how we need it for engineering much of modern technology.
Jul 16, 2024 · Provides clear and accessible explanations of the foundations of quantum mechanics, using an attractive and informal style. It is thorough, with an appropriate amount of mathematical rigor and a good variety of examples and problems.
