Quantum Mechanics

Description

There are very basic laws of physics going on all around us that we instinctively grasp - gravity makes things fall down, pushing something makes it move. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that explains the behavior of particles at the subatomic level. It is one of the most successful and influential theories in science and has had a profound impact on our understanding of the nature of matter and energy. Quantum mechanics describes the properties of atoms, molecules, and their constituents such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. Quantum mechanics is based on the theory that energy is not continuous, but comes in discrete packets called quanta. This book covers the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, the Schrodinger equation, and the uncertainty principle. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the field of physics and chemistry.
