I How azimutal quantum number got its range value

Click For Summary
The azimuthal quantum number ranges from 0 to n-1, derived from the algebraic theory of quantum mechanical angular momentum and the solution of the Schrödinger equation in three dimensions. Detailed explanations can be found in textbooks on quantum mechanics, particularly those covering the hydrogen atom. Online resources are also available for varying levels of understanding, from basic to advanced. Engaging with these materials can provide a deeper insight into the topic. Understanding the azimuthal quantum number is essential for grasping quantum mechanics fundamentals.

TL;DR
it is known that azimutal quantum number takes the values from 0 to n-1. how did they find it ?

From the algebraic theory of quantum mechanical angular momentum, and solving the Schrodinger equation in three dimensions.

Thread 'Time rondeau crystals, experimental observations'

A relative asked me about the following article: Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03028-y I pointed my relative to following article: Scientists Discovered a Time Crystal That Reveals a New Way to Order Time https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/scientists-discovered-time-crystal-reveals-180055389.html This area is outside of my regular experience. I'm interested in radiation effects in polycrystalline material, i.e., grain...
