Chemistry and Quantum

Abstract

John Franklin Ogilvie

We consider the quantum aspects of chemical and physical observations and practices, including quantum physics, quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry and the quantum laws of nature. The technical term quantum implies discrete -- the discreteness of a physical entity or an observable property. This term might appear in four legitimate scientific contexts -- quantum physics, quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry and quantum laws. As an extension of a previous report, we consider briefly each in turn.
