Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

A text heavy but very informative site covering a lot of ground in theoretical physics.

The Quantised World

Textbook style pages giving limited detail of quantum ideas and the Nobel winners linked to them.

Copenhagen Interpretation

This is a good explanation of this important development in understanding quantum mechanics. It has many links off to further information on the people and ideas involved.

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

A diatomic molecule vibrates somewhat like two masses on a spring with a potential energy with depends upon the square of the displacement from equilibrium.

Expansion and Time Development using Eigenstates

This applet demonstrates how an arbitrary function may be expanded in terms of the eigenfunctions of any one-dimensional quantum mechanical system.

Photoelectric Effect

The details of this phenomenon were in direct contradiction to the expectations of very well developed classical physics. The explanation marked one of the major steps toward quantum theory.

Quanta and atoms - the elementary approach

Designed by students as part of the ThinkQuest competition, this site provides a teaching course on three levels explaining the atomic and quantum world.
