ABSTRACT
The most important physical aspects of quantum mechanics are interactions in bound systems and predictions relevant to particle scatterings. A special accent is placed upon the foundation of quantum scattering theory from the first principles of physics, without resorting to any free parameters. Such a complete theory, which is autonomously and consistently devised on a rigorous mathematical basis, represents a genuine modern candidate for a powerful predictor of real events in experiments. For modern scattering theory, the following two principal questions emerge: the existence and completeness of the Moller wave operators. They directly imply the unitarity of the S-matrix and the correctness of the boundary conditions. Such a general and versatile methodological concept largely surpasses the frames of scattering theory.
