That theory is known as quantum mechanics, and it is now the basic framework for understanding atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear physics, as well as condensed-matter (or ”solid-state”) physics.
basic postulate of quantum mechanics. An alternative choice of operators is the momentum representation, in which the linear momentum parallel to x is represented by the operation of multiplication by px and the position operator is represented
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.
tried to explain how classical mechanics emerges from quantum mechanics. Classical mechanics is about movement and change, while the strong empha-sis on stationary states in traditional quantum courses makes the quantum world seem static and irreconcilably different from the world of every-day experience and intuition.
The aim of this course is to develop non-relativistic quantum mechanics as a complete theory of microscopic dynamics, capable of making detailed predictions, with a minimum of abstract mathematics.
se first edition dates back to 1930. In this book the formal structure of quantum mechanics based on the properties of the vectors (bras and kets) and the linear operators in
Quantum mechanics is a framework in which we can only predict the probabilities for the various outcomes of any given exper-iment. Our next subject is quantum superpositions, in which a quantum object somehow manages to exist simultaneously in two mutually incompatible states.
Intro: what is Quantum Mechanics? In this chapter... In this chapter you will learn the basic ‘quantum concepts’. You may find them a bit different from things you have learned before, but don’t be afraid, they are far from in-comprehensible. After reading the first few chapters, you may even see quantum mechanics
