Preface
Quantum Mechanics: 100 Years of Mystery Solved! In the theoretical study of the application of quantum electrodynamics (QED), recent progress in research has led to solving the mystery (as Feynman said) involved in the foundation of quantum mechanics. Because this is a very big achievement, we will first note this breakthrough in the title of this preface, and later demonstrate the individual research outcomes. QED is a relativistic quantum field theory, a quantum theory of photons with electrons, and is considered the most successful accurate theory we have, e.g., to explain the Lamb shift, the anomalous magnetic moment of the electrons, and so on using the Feynman diagram technique of the covariant perturbation approach. We will elaborate the non-perturbation approach in this book. This book presents new aspects of QED from basic physics to physical chemistry with mathematical rigor. Topics covered include spin dynamics, chemical reactivity, the dual Cauchy problem, and more. Readers interested in modern applications of quantum field theory in nano-, bio-, and open systems will enjoy learning how the up-to-date quantum theory of radiation with matter works in the world o
