A solutions manual is available. 'A truly wonderful introduction to quantum mechanics. Sakurai's original text was elegant, simple, and full of insight. It taught me much as a graduate student.

As the size of a material approaches the nanometer range, the laws of classical physics begin to break down, and quantum mechanics becomes increasingly important. Some of the quantum effects observed ...

Quantum mechanics is the best tool we have to understand ... to confront this strangeness head-on was Max Planck. In order to explain unusual observations produced when objects were heated to ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name ... Eventually scientists realized this explained why some materials are conductors of electricity and some aren't -- since ...

IBM’s Scanning Tunneling Microscope, or STM for short, uses an atomically sharp needle that passes over the surface of an (electrically conductive) object – the distance between the tip and ...

You've probably heard the term "quantum computing" at some point and wondered what it meant. It's not a term that's easy to understand, and neither is quantum mechanics, which is the theory behind ...

The seemingly simple experiment of heating ... In this talk I will try to explain some of the weird and wonderful aspects of quantum mechanics and discuss a number of exciting sensing applications ...

The Clash of Titans: Quantum Mechanics vs. General Relativity Quantum mechanics and general relativity, developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, have both stood the test of time and ...
