من طرف Introduction to quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics (QM, or quantum theory) is a physical science dealing with the behavior of matter and energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles / waves.[1] Quantum mechanics also forms the basis for the contemporary understanding of how very large objects such as stars and galaxies, and cosmological events such as the Big Bang, can be analyzed and explained. Quantum mechanics is the foundation of several related disciplines including, condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, particle physics and is the chief investigative tool in structural biology. Within the field of engineering QM plays an important part of forming the development of nanotechnology and electronics.
The term "quantum mechanics" was first coined by Max Born in 1924. The acceptance by the general physics community of quantum mechanics is due to its accurate prediction of the physical behaviour of systems, including systems where Newtonian mechanics fails. Even general relativity is limited—in ways quantum mechanics is not—in describing systems at the atomic scale or smaller, at very low or very high energies, or at the lowest temperatures. Through a century of experimentation and applied science, quantum mechanical theory has proven to be very successful and practical.
