..., and remains the central paradigm in physics for the same group of people. One great instance of this approach can be seen in the equation of conventional nonrelativistic quantum mechanics that describes the everyday world of human beings. The less immediate things in the universe are not described...

...The Prologues argues that the question “What is a system?” is a fundamental question across the disciplines, from quantum mechanics to the social sciences and humanities. To answer the question we need to see system not as an “idea” needing a definition but as a genre—a form that works physically...

...Quantum chemistry—a discipline that is not quite physics, not quite chemistry, and not quite applied mathematics—emerged as a field of study in the 1920s. It was referred to by such terms as mathematical chemistry, subatomic theoretical chemistry, molecular quantum mechanics, and chemical physics...

...; and quantum and thermal processes of electromagnetic fluctuations at the nanoscale, where the rules of quantum mechanics now hold sway. He is now studying quantum fluctuations and how the forces and energy exchanged between objects work. This all-important area is the current driving force for development...

...This chapter focuses on the numerical approaches for protocell simulation. It discusses the ab initio methods, semiempirical methods, molecular mechanics or molecular dynamics (MM or MD), quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics, coarse-grained molecular dynamics, the lattice...

...Despite its arduous journey, quantum chemistry ended on a positive note: from the notion that quantum mechanics could not provide analytical solutions to nearly every problem of chemistry, to the advent of computers and their unlimited potential to generate numerical solutions of arbitrary...
