A Quantum is defined as the smallest bit of anything Quantum Mechanics= Mechanics of the very small Not even science can explain how terrible Quantum of Solace was SOME SIMPLE QUANTUM MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 2 2 2 2 4 Special Relativity- E =p c +m c Planck- E=hf For a massless particle, E=pc ʎf=c Gives us: ʎ=h/p Early 20s, deBroglie proposed that any mass would correspond to a wavelength 1929, deBroglie Nobel Prize 1926, Erwin Schrödinger creates equation that Güten tag. predicts this wave deBroglie ich heiße predicted Ψ(x,y,z,t) Erwin Could be used for any Schröding er particle Fundamental equation of ALL quantum mechanics A CLOSER LOOK iħ=( )(reduced Planck’s constant) d/dt = Time derivative Ψ(r,t) = Wave function = Laplacian function V(r,t)= Potential Energy
