Abstract
In the previous chapter, we saw how Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics arose in 1924–1925. What we want to do here is to come back to the problem of the NH3 molecule, seen in chapter 5 and to do matrix mechanics on this particular case, in a similar way to what we did in wave mechanics by considering the simple problem of the motion of a particle in space.
