are a direct consequence of wave-particle duality—i.e., the concept that waves sometimes act as particles, and particles as waves. We shall then proceed to investigate the rules of quantum mechanics in a more systematic fashion in Chapter 4. Quantum mechanics is used to examine the motion of a single particle in one dimension, many particles ...
