Quantum world

The quantum world—however strange—is the atom s world. Quantum mechanics provides a powerful tool to probe the atom. Much of this book is devoted to using that tool to discover the properties of atoms, molecules, and compounds. 

The nanoscale world is exciting because it is governed by rules differing from those in the macroscopic, or even microscopic, realm. It is a world where quantum mechanics dominates the scene, and events on the single-molecule scale are critical. What we know about the behavior of material on our scale is no longer true on the nanometer scale, and our formularies must be re-written. In order to study this quantum world, a quantum-mechanical probe is essential. Electron tunneling provides that quantum-mechanical tool.

Remarkably, the Wigner distribution could be observed in a number of systems by physical experiments and computer simulations evading the whole quantum world from atomic nuclei to the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field to the metal-insulator transition (Guhr, Muller-Groeling and Weidenmuller, 1998). In this contribution we address the situation in QCD and in hadrons.

Approaching the quantum world, content will likely be introductory. At the introductory level mathematical derivations should be at a minimum. The restrictions and meanings of the results are far more important.
