In the previous episodes, I have described how a wave (or actually light)…lemouth (72)in steemstem • 7 years agoWave-particle duality aka the central pillar of quantum mechanicsIn two of my last posts on quantum mechanics, I introduced the concept of the wave-particle duality . I have discussed that light (or actually waves) can exhibit the behavior of a particle…lemouth (72)in science • 7 years agoMatter waves - a central concept in quantum mechanicsMy quantum mechanics series on Steemit is probably the slowest of all my current Steemit projects. Anyways, I finally decided to go back to it and move on. In the last two posts, I described the…lemouth (72)in science • 7 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 10 - the Bohr model of the atomIn my last quantum mechanics post, I introduced the planetary model of the atom that was proposed by Rutherford at the beginning of the 20th century. I also explained, at the end of the post, why it…lemouth (72)in science • 7 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 9 - The planetary model of the atomAfter a week of a well-deserved break, I am now back on tracks to discuss physics again. Instead of chatting about particle physics or cosmology, I decided this time to move on with my series of…lemouth (72)in science • 8 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 8 - The Compton effectI am very happy to restart today my Steemit quantum mechanics lecture series. The 7 previous episodes can be found at the end of this post.

I hence discuss the problematics of…lemouth (72)in science • 8 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 4 - fundamental physics at the beginning of the 20th centuryFinally, after a while (really sorry about that), I have managed to write this fourth post of my quantum mechanics lecture notes series shared on Steemit. I have introduced this topic with my…lemouth (72)in science • 8 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 3 - relevant systems of particles covered by quantum mechanicsThis post is the third one of my Steemit project of sharing quantum mechanics lecture notes . In the previous posts, I have so far introduced the basic interactions, particle species and…lemouth (72)in science • 8 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 2 - particles, interactions and conservation lawsWith this second post, I continue my project of sharing quantum mechanics lecture notes on Steemit . Having setup the first part of the context in my previous post , I am now moving on by…lemouth (72)in science • 8 years agoQuantum mechanics lessons on Steemit - 1 - context and foundationsThis post is the first of a series of posts aiming to share quantum mechanics lecture notes on Steemit . I am actually exporting onto the Steemit platform a quantum mechanics course that I have…
