Dynamics of Waves in Quantum Systems: Exploring Group Velocity in Electrons, Photons, and Atomic Structures

This book plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of quantum systems, exploring how group velocity shapes the behavior of electrons, photons, and other quantum entities while challenging classical perspectives on atomic orbitals and solid-state physics.

In conventional treatments, atomic orbitals are constructed from plane waves with fixed energies, disregarding the role of group velocity. But what happens when group velocity is considered? Incorporating group velocity leads to ...
