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.

Function for a time-independent perturbation in quantum mechanics
What it means by $F(t,\omega=0)$ is actually $\lim_{\omega \to 0} F(t,\omega)$.
This limit is calculated as follows as follows using L'Hôpital's rule.
\begin{align*}
&\lim_{\omega \to 0} \frac{1-\cos …

Quantum transitions between energy states [closed]
When a quantum system is acted on by time dependent perturbation, the initial state evolves according to the new time-dependent Hamiltonian and grows to some superposition of states. During the time p …

Measurement of quantum state
Consider a particle in a box system. Assume its state to be a superposition of the ground and the first excited energy states. Consider two observers A and B (rest of the world). A made the measuremen …
