ABSTRACT

The phenomenological quantum mechanics is practically “re-storied” in a more formalized way, under the so-called extended quantum postulates, while opening and unfolding more complex analysis of the Nature’s phenomena, from nuclear, to atomic, to molecular, and to solid state and scattering observational quantum effects.
