Apple Academic Press Quantum Mechanics (HB) by Perry And Louisa
Quantum mechanics is a set of principles underlying the most fundamental known description of all physical systems at the microscopic scale (at the atomic level). Quantum phenomena are particularly relevant in systems whose dimensions are close to the atomic scale, such as molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, and other subatomic particles.Quantum mechanics has helped scientists explain many of the features of our world. It gives insight into the workings of biological systems, and much of modern technology operates at a scale where quantum effects are significant. Examples include the laser, the transistor, the electron microscope, and magnetic resonance imaging. The study of semiconductors led to the invention of the diode and the transistor, which are indispensable for modern electronics.Selected Contents: Toy Quantum Mechanics Using Hidden Variables; Irreversibility in Quantum Mechanics; Ricci Flow Gravity; Interface Coupling Properties and Reflection of Bulk Spin Waves From Biaxial Multilayer Ferromagnetic Media; Study of Defects Effect on Electronic Conductance Through Binomially Tailored Quantum Wire; Energy and Entropy as the Fundaments of Theoretical Physics; Molecular Mechanics and Quantum Mechanical Modeling of Hexane Soot Structure and Interactions with Pyrene; Electronic Properties of Amino Acid Side Chains: Quantum Mechanics Calculation of Substituent Effects; Lys169 of Human Glucokinase is a Determinant for Glucose Phosphorylation: Implication for the Atomic Mechanism of Glucokinase Catalysis; Transient Effect of Weak Electromagnetic Fields on Calcium Ion Concentration in Arabidopsis thaliana; Actomyosin Interaction: Mechanical and Energetic Properties in Different Nucleotide Binding States; Comparative QSTR Study Using Semi-Empirical and First Principle Methods Based Descriptors for Acute Toxicity of Diverse Organic Compounds to the Fathead Minnow; Formation Versus Hydrolysis of the Peptide Bond from a Quantum-Mechanical Viewpoint: The Role of Mineral Surfaces and Implications for the Origin of Life; Quantum Mechanical Calculation of Aqueous Uranium Complexes: Carbonate, Phosphate, Organic and Biomolecular Species; Some QSAR Studies for a Group of Sulfonamide Schiff-Base as Carbonic Anhydrase CA-II Inhibitors; Philosophy of Mind and the Problem of Free Will in the Light of Quantum Mechanics; Index
