The quantum-mechanical properties of electron spin are developed systematically from a nonrelativistic Hamiltonian. The correct values of the magnetic moment of the electron, the spin-orbit coupling energy of atomic electrons, the Darwin correction, and the angular momentum of the electron are obtained directly without explicitly including any relativity beyond classical electromagnetism.

Some thoughts of the quantum mechanics have produced great influence on people's philosophic ideas and the core thought of the quantum mechanics is “Wave-particle duality”, Bohr's Complementary principle,Uncertainty Principle and Causality relate to probability. Quantum mechanics has nothing to do with idealism and agnosticism, but it emphasizes logic substantial evidence, making researches into the microcosmic particles' behavior through the abstract science and idealization. Therefore, it is discredited to extend the principles of quantum mechanics to human being's progress and learning. Quantum pedagogy, the result of the logical positivism and scientism, had a wrong interpretation of the principles of quantum mechanics, thinking that it is just our subjectivity that decides the world we have seen and the conclusion about the world with subjectivity is not unacceptable. That is why the quantum pedagogy holds the view that people's knowledge is totally decided by the subjective world or the spiritual world and students can suddenly grow and develop even without any reason, any regularity or the accumulation based on the quantitative change. Obviously the concepts of quantum pedagogy are derived from the philosophies of Locke, Berkeley, Hume and Kant, thus falling into the idealism and agnosticism.
