The Parity operator in one dimension. The particle in a square. The two-dimensional harmonic oscillator. The quantum corral. 11. The Spectrum of Angular Momentum ... That theory is known as quantum mechanics, and it is now the basic framework for understanding atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear physics, as well as condensed-matter
