actually einstein developed one of the earliest parts of quantum mechanics: the theory of the photoelectric effect. he worked directly with many of the scientists that later developed the complete theory of quantum mechanics and the mathematics to solve its apparent paradoxes to get usable predictions from the theory.

later he rejected it due to it being nondeterministic, not because he didn't understand quantum mechanics but because he did understand quantum mechanics. he then tried to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity, hoping the resulting unified field theory would resolve the nondeterminism of quantum mechanics, resulting in a single fully deterministic theory of everything.

Many people worked on quantum theory, most notably Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Max Born, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, Wolfgang Pauli and John von Neumann.

Who developed the quantum theory of the nuclear atom and used the observations of albert Einstein to formulate it?

Quantum Mechanics was invented by Max Plank - and Einstein had nothing to do with it, in fact Einstein was uncomfortable with Quantum Mechanics for the entirety of his career.


What field of physics is Albert Einstein?

Theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics.


What are the discoveries of Einstein?

Special Relativity, General Relativity and the beginnings of Quantum Mechanics.


What is a sentence for quantum?

The study of quantum mechanics can be quite difficult for some students.


The study of motion in the microworld is called?

In the microworld the study of motion is called mechanics or classical mechanics. The study of the motion of particles in the microworld of atoms and nuclei is called quantum mechanics.


What you need to study the quantum mechanics?

Quantum mechanics studies the movement and interaction of subatomic particles, like electrons, nucleons, quarks, etc.


Why it is said relativistic quantum mechanics?

The distinction is sometimes made to distinguish normal quantum mechanics (which does not incorporate special relativity) and quantum field theory (relativistic quantum mechanics). Since we know special relativity is correct it is the relativistic form of quantum mechanics which is true, but non-relativistic quantum mechanics is still used, because it is a good approximation at low energies and it is much simpler. Physics students typically study regular quantum mechanics before moving on to quantum field theory.


Is telekinesis a real science?

What is quantum mechanics based on?

Quantum Mechanics is a discipline of higher level mathematics and physics. The most basic description of Quantum Physics is the study of the building blocks of the universe, and the forces that govern those particles.


Is quantum mechanics same as quantum physics?

It most certainly is! It has to do with things that are very small. Atomic [or Nuclear] Physics is essentially the study of the quantum world.


What is true relativity or quantum mechanics?

Einstein's work on the Photoelectric effect, which won him the Nobel prize in 1921 was a bulwark of Quantum Mechanics. Einstein went off in another direction because of his inate suspicion that Quantum Mechanics has severe internal difficulties. Quantum Mechanics and Relativity have not yet been reconciled--but they are moving together slowly. Quantum Gravity seems to be key to the issue and may be resolved by String Theory.


What theory did Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein come up with?

Einstein's theories were General and Special Relativity. Hawking put forward a theory combining relativity with quantum mechanics.
