QM isn't suitable for large systems as they have properties which can be seen where at the subatomic level you can say with more ease that nothing has any exact properties.

What is the correspondence principle as first articulated by Bohr?

The correspondence principle, articulated by Bohr in 1923, states that the behavior of quantum systems must reflect classical physics in the limit of large quantum numbers. This principle reconciles the differences between classical and quantum mechanics by showing that classical physics is a limiting case of quantum mechanics. It asserts that the predictions of quantum mechanics converge to classical physics predictions as the quantum numbers become large.


Who has the greatest contribution in quantum mechanics among Heisenberg and Dirac and Schrodinger?

Heisenberg, Dirac and Schrodinger all made large combinations. Schrodinger is famous for his wave mechanics, Heisenberg for his matrix notation. Dirac realised that the theories of Heisenberg and Schrodinger were essentially the same. He also created the Dirac equation, an important step in the creation of a relativistic version of Quantum Mechanics.


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.


Careers that use quantum mechanics I know this area of physics is more theoretical than anything but are there any?

The obvious choice would be a research or academic physicist. These are professions that are primarily in the public sector meaning that you would be employed by a university or the government. As for industry, there are still some companies that employ quantum physicists but they are usually R and D departments of large technology companies. Not a lot of businesses directly employ quantum mechanics directly, but there are a lot that use the results of experiments to develop new, and improve old, technologies. Possible areas for research include superconductivity, quantum computing, particle physics and string theory. Maybe chemistry too.


Is Quantum Mechanics more important than Relativity?

Quantum mechanics and relativity are both parts of the same puzzle: how the universe works. They are both equally important, because they both explain things that are not explained by classical physics.

What is a quantum mechcanics?

Quantum mechanics is the description of the Universe, mainly on very small scales, as in subatomic particles. It has many weird aspects, that we are not accustomed to in our daily (large-scale) life.You can read an introduction to quantum mechanics, among other things, in the Wikipedia article "Introduction to quantum mechanics".


Is there any exsistence of particle that can obey both quantum mechanics as well as statistical mechanics simultaneously?

Quantum mechanics deals with things on the atomic and subatomic level. Statistical mechanics deals with large systems, on the order of 10^23 particles. So those are currently mutually exclusive areas of physics. That is not to say that one day that issue will be rectified, but as of current there is no overlap.AnswerI disagree. Statistical mechanics explains the connection between the very small and the not-so-small things. It explains large-scale properties, such as energy, temperature, pressure, current, etc. in terms of the movements of particles at an atomic scale. Statistical mechanics was first formulated in the 19th century, before quantum mechanics, and was built on classical mechanics; however, it has also been done for quantum mechanics.


Why unseen particles obey quantum machanism but not classical machanism?

"Classical mechanics" is what you get when you have large groups of particles. Large objects do obey the laws of quantum mechanics, but things such as the "uncertainty of momentum" become quite insignificant at larger scales.With individual particles, seen or otherwise - the laws of the quantum world become more relevant.

Can you explain the concept of quantum physics, Professor?

Quantum physics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of particles at a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It deals with the principles of quantum mechanics, which describe how these particles can exist in multiple states at the same time and how they can be connected over large distances. Quantum physics has led to many important technological advancements, such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography.


What are the branches and subbranches of physics with their definitions?

There are many branches and subbranches of physics. Some examples are: acoustics (the study of mechanical waves), astrophysics (the study of the universe), geophysics (the study of the earth), and thermodynamics (the study of temperature and pressure changes).

What is the Difference between relativity and quantum mechanics?

Quantum Mechanics is the study of the intimate behavior of the smallest forms of particles, and their interaction amongst, with special emphasys on the emissions of energy, which is delivered in quanta, or photons. Wave Mechanics is the study of many physical phenomena that happen in a non linear and recurrent behavior, usually addressed as wave, with special emphasys in both the features of said wave, and the energy that involves specific wave phenomena.
