Quantum mechanics is one of the most interesting and surprising pillars of modern physics. Its basic precepts require only undergraduate or early graduate mathematics; but because quantum mechanics is surprising, it is more difficult than these prerequisites suggest. Moreover, the rigorous and clear rules of quantum mechanics are sometimes confused with the more difficult and less rigorous rule...

The interface of quantum mechanics methods with classical atomistic simulation techniques, such as molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo, continues to be an area of considerable promise and interest. Such coupled quantum–atomistic approaches have been developed and employed, for example, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the energetics, kinetics, and dynamics of chemical processes involving...

Why does such a successful theory like Quantum Mechanics have so many mysteries? The history of this is replete with dubious interpretations and controversies, yet knowledge its predictions, however, contributed to the amazing technological revolution last hundred years. In very beginning Einstein pointed out that there was something missing, due contradictions relativity theory. So, even thoug...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most surprising sides of modern physics. Its basic precepts require only undergraduate or early graduate mathematics; but because quantum mechanics is surprising, it is more difficult than these prerequisites suggest. Moreover, the rigorous and clear rules of quantum mechanics are sometimes confused with the more difficult and less rigorous rules of quantum field...
