Abstract

Quantum mechanics(QM) covers not just single particles, but systems of particles. Systems of particles exhibit further unexpected behaviors which explain atoms and molecules, enable new technologies (e.g., quantum cryptography), and require dedicated study. This chapter requires understanding single particle QM of waves and spins.
