Abstract
Ever since its formulation in 1925–26, quantum mechanics has explained a very large number of phenomena. Examples have been given throughout this book. Properties of atoms, molecules, nuclei, solids, superconductors and superfluids, among others, cannot be understood without the systematic use of quantum mechanics. No major discrepancies are known between its predictions and experiment. Quantum mechanics is no doubt one of the best corroborated physical theories ever.
