Schrödinger equation and quantum mechanics
Yisong Yang
Abstract The essence of quantum mechanics is the Schrödinger equation. Thus, the path to quantum mechanics lies in an understanding of the birth of the Schrödinger equation. This chapter derives the Schrodinger equation based on the photoelectric effect, which has found a wide range of applications in today’s electronics. It then discusses the Schrodinger equation’s statistical interpretations and applications. It goes on to present the quantum many-body problem, which is of contemporary research interest, as well as its many applications. Next it investigates the Hartree-Fock method and the Thomas-Fermi approach, as well as provides a discussion of the Rydberg formula. Finally, the chapter looks at and unpacks the density functional theory.
