The Future Role of Quantum Mechanics Theory and Experiment Working Together

9 The Future Role of Quantum Mechanics Theory and Experiment Working Together 

Of all the methods that we will discuss in this book, quantum mechamcs is probably the most widely used and the most extensively developed. The importance of the subject can be gauged in many ways, from citation counts to the number of Nobel prizes awarded. The systems studied using quantum mechanics range from the simplest molecular species (e.g., HD+, H3) to some very large and complex molecules (e.g. DNA, proteins and
