ABSTRACT
Synopsis: After drilling down to the basic theory, the process of building up the quantum description from experiment is continued. ƒe reader is introduced to the Schrödinger equation and related concepts. ƒe emphasis is on what experiment tells us about particle properties, and various experiments as well as the Bohr model are used to motivate wave/particle dualism ideas. It is argued that the Fourier transform is the mathematical concept needed to build in this dualism. ƒe Schrödinger equation is deduced from an analogy with the wave equation and connection is made to the ideas of probability. Finally, the entire formalism is recovered and illuminated by reconnecting to the more formal spin basis ideas of the first chapter.
