Part 5 - Quantum Mechanics
"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics." — Richard Feynman
Part 5 of CPVR delves into the intricate world of quantum mechanics, showcasing how Rust can be leveraged to address complex quantum problems with precision and efficiency. The section begins with an introduction to Quantum Mechanics in Rust, setting the stage for understanding how Rust's features can be applied to quantum simulations. It then explores methods for solving the Schrödinger Equation, fundamental for predicting the behavior of quantum systems. Quantum Monte Carlo Methods are discussed next, highlighting their role in statistical approaches to quantum problems. The focus then shifts to Density Functional Theory (DFT), a crucial computational technique for investigating electronic structures. Finally, Quantum Field Theory and Lattice Gauge Theory are examined, providing insights into advanced theoretical frameworks and their computational implementations. This part emphasizes Rust’s potential in revolutionizing the way complex quantum mechanical simulations are performed and understood.
