TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed nine nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, including wave functions, matrix, path integral, phase space, density matrix, second quantization, variational, pilot wave, and Hamilton-Jacobi formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common misconceptions regarding quantum mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, 15 commonly held misconceptions concerning quantum mechanics, such as energy eigenstates are the only allowed states and the wave function is dimensionless, are listed and a few suggestions are offered to help combat these misconceptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into entropy
TL;DR: In this article, the qualitative character of entropy has been investigated and several examples from statistical mechanics (including liquid crystal reentrant phases, two different lattice gas models, and the game of poker) demonstrate facets of this difficult question and point toward an answer.
Book
The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics as discussed by the authors is an excellent introduction to quantum mechanics, including the Stern-Gerlach experiment and its implications, treating the concepts of probability, and Bell's theorem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum revivals versus classical periodicity in the infinite square well
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that under suitably quasiclassical conditions, the quantal time evolution of 〈x(t)〉 passes over to the classical result not only in period but also in its exact func...
