Can quantum theory be connected with Elasticity theory? I am a graduate student in Mechanics, and I am doing some theoretical/applied elasticity research. And to some extent, I am working with Material Science problems. The relationship of Quamtum Theory with general Mechanics puzzles me. For example, electron cloud or the probability wave of electron can do any effect with the Strength or Rigidity of material?
Thanks for helping!

Check out solid state physics -- many, many references -- and you will find that QM does a great job in explaining many aspects of solids. RA
 
yes, electron cloud probabilities have a lot to do with solids. It all deals with molecular architecture, VSEPR theory. Look it up, its pleety cool.
 

Thread 'Quantum Entanglement is a Kinematic Fact, not a Dynamical Effect'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
