Quantum mechanics describes the microscopic properties of nature in a regime where classical mechanics no longer applies. It explains phenomena such as the wave-particle duality, quantization of energy, and the uncertainty principle and is generally used in single-body systems. Use the quantum-field-theory tag for the theory of many-body quantum-mechanical systems.

How does the Particle in a box model help research/understanding of physics?

Many systems that have practical applications use particle in a box theory. For example, the basics of semiconductors are derived using the potential well model, in this case the theory developed is c …
