Quantum mechanics is a physical science dealing with the behaviour of matter and energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles/waves. It is the foundation of several related disciplines, including condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and particle physics, and is the chief investigative tool in structural biology.
Within the field of engineering, quantum mechanics plays an important part of forming the development of nanotechnology and electronics.
Designed for students and teachers of physics, the present book is an introduction to the field of quantum mechanics, which lays the foundations for the rest of the course on quantum mechanics, advanced quantum mechanics field theory. Starting from Schrodinger equation, uncertainty principle, exclusion principle, photoelectric effect and wave-particle duality, the book also discusses the nature of quantum particles, classical mechanics, quantum computers and so on. |
