Quantum mechanics is concerned with phenomena that are so small-scale that they cannot be described in classical terms.
Quantum Mechanics
(a) The theory that explains the dual wave-like and particle-like behavior of matter and the probabilistic character of nature.
QUANTUM MECHANICS - Theory which describes the behavior of the very small, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles.
Quantum mechanics is a set of principles underlying the most fundamental known description of all physical systems at the microscopic scale .

Quantum Mechanics and Waves
Gravity is the only one of the four fundamental forces of nature that stubbornly refuses to be quantised (the other three: Electromagnetism, the Strong Force, and the Weak Force, can be quantised).

Quantum Mechanics
The study of behavior of atoms and atomic particles.

Quantum mechanics shows that if we put electrons inside a box with fixed dimensions then the electrons can only take up a set of defined states each of which is different from that of any other electron.
quantum mechanics The framework of laws governing the behavior of particles on atomic and subatomic levels. It starts with the assumption that energy is not infinitely divisible, but comes in quanta.
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics treating atomic and subatomic systems and their interaction with radiation in terms of observable quantities.
Quantum mechanics reveals new details of deep earth PhysOrg - May 11, 2010
Scientists have used quantum mechanics to reveal that the most common mineral on Earth, silica, is relatively uncommon deep within the planet.
quantum mechanics - (n.)
The branch of 20th century physics that describes atoms and radiation; the theory involves bundles of energy known as quanta.

Quantum mechanics
In some interpretations of quantum mechanics, certain quantum effects may be transmitted at speeds greater than c. For example, the quantum states of two particles can be entangled.
In quantum mechanics, a particle's energy and momentum are essentially independent of each other. A particle is said to be "on mass-shell" when its energy and momentum satisfy the formula from special relativity:
E2 = p2c2 + m02 c4 ...
QUANTUM MECHANICS
A theory in physics which is based on 2 ideas: (1) light can be emitted or absorbed only in discrete quantities called quanta, whose energy is proportional to their wavelength; ...
According to quantum mechanics, an atom, element or molecule can absorb photons with energies equal to the difference between two energy states.
By these new laws of "quantum mechanics," electrons do not move in precisely defined orbits, but are distributed in space in a way that only allows the probability of finding them anywhere to be calculated.
You are correct, quantum mechanics (as opposed to quantum field theory) is an instantaneous model, which violates causality.

After this time gravity can be considered to be a classical background in which particles and fields evolve following quantum mechanics. A region about 10-33 cm across is homogeneous and isotropic, The temperature is T=1032K.
Inflation begins.
"If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet."
"Nothing exist until it is measured."
"A triviality is a statement whose opposite is false.
The details of this kind of pressure depend on quantum mechanics at a level beyond what we can cover in this course.
degenerate gas super-compressed gas that behaves more like a solid and whose properties must be described by quantum mechanics. The pressure of degenerate gas does not depend on the temperature.
It relies on the strange world of quantum mechanics. The so-called Heisenburg uncertainty principle tells us that energy needn't be conserved for short intervals of time, as long as it is conserved over a longer time interval.
Under the conditions found in the stage 9 red giant core, a rule of quantum mechanics known as the Pauli exclusion principle (after Wolfgang Pauli, one of the founding fathers of quantum physics) prohibits the electrons in the core from being ...
The limit comes about due to some of the laws of quantum mechanics. One of these laws tell us how tightly we can pack things in, such as atoms and electrons.
The principle of quantum mechanics which implies that light (and, indeed, all other subatomic particles) sometimes act like a wave, and sometimes act like a particle, depending on the experiment you are performing.
Pairs of measurable quantities whose product has dimensions of energyÃ-time are called conjugate quantities in quantum mechanics, and have a special relation to each other, expressed in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

In quantum mechanics the topic is the motion of an electron under the influence of the electrostatic attractive force of the nucleus...atomic physics.
An atom consists of a tightly packed nucleus composed of protons and neutrons surrounded by a "cloud" of electrons that arrange themselves in an orderly pattern according to the rules of quantum mechanics.
"One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, ...
The most massive type O stars, however, have a mass too great for even quantum mechanics to keep them from further collapse, and the star goes through a final collapse, forming a black hole; the most mysterious object in the universe.

and that causes the sensation of vision in our mind. The nature of light is not completely understood. It is a complicated subject because it involves two of the deepest mysteries of which we are now aware - human consciousness and quantum mechanics.
