Description

The field of physics known as quantum mechanics (QM) is comparatively recent and was created by a group of scientists at the turn of the 20th century. Up until that point, all known physical phenomena could be categorised according to the equations of classical physics as either waves or particles. The discovery of novel phenomena, such as the photoelectric effect, sparked the creation of new physics and completely altered the way we perceive the world. Understanding how different atoms combine to make compounds relies on quantum mechanics. It offers a quantitative method to understanding chemical bonding processes by outlining specifically which molecules are more energetically advantageous than others and by how much. A physical science known as quantum mechanics studies the behaviour of matter and energy at the size of atoms and subatomic particles and waves. It is the main research tool in structural biology and the foundation of many related fields, including as condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and particle physics. Quantum physics has a significant influence on the development of nanotechnology and electronics within the subject of engineering. This book aims to provide thorough study of the key facets of quantum mechanics.
