Beyond The Atomic Level: Quantum mechanics on matter physics

This book is a introduction of the fundamentals and mathematics underlying quantum mechanics, and indeed is applicable for readers possessing a reasonable familiarity with at least a minimum of background in mathematics and quantum theory. It introduces these concepts including wave-particle duality, quantum states, the uncertainty principle; the formulations in clear math show just how these principles govern how matter will behave at the microscopic scales. The book also delves into the mathematical tools of quantum mechanics, such as Schrödinger’s equation and the concept of probability waves, so readers will have a solid grounding in the essential equations that define the quantum world. In addition to the scientific underpinning, the book philosophically explores the implications of quantum mechanics. It talks about how quantum theory runs contrary to the determinist nature of classical thinking by posing questions on reality and causality, thereby questioning, on a profound level, the nature of existence. By combining science and philosophy, the book allows readers to see quantum mechanics both scientifically and philosophically, opening discussion to how the theory reformed the understanding of the universe and the limits of man’s knowledge.
