Quantum Mechanics 4: Spin, Lasers, Pauli Exclusion & Barrier

Quantum Mechanics 4: Spin, Lasers, Pauli Exclusion & Barrier Penetration (Everyone's Guide Series Book 21)

This book is the fourth stage of our exploration of Quantum Mechanics in the Everyoneâ€™s Guide Series.

We first review waves and particle-wave duality. We'll revisit the Uncertaintly Principle, and discuss the Two-Slit Experiment in depth.

Then, we delve deeper into wavefunctions and explore more Quantum Mechanical mysteries: barrier penetration and spin. Weâ€™ll discover how barrier penetration allows particles to â€œpass throughâ€ walls, enables radioactivity, makes star shine, and powers microelectronics in all our digital devices.

Spin is a uniquely quantum mechanical property of all particles. Weâ€™ll explore how spin makes matter rigid, controls the formation of atoms and molecules, and enables lasers and superconductivity.
