متن کاملQnAs with Angel Rubio.
Just as physics requires a different set of tools to explore phenomena at the quantum scale, chemistry requires a quantum paradigm. At the macroscale, the interaction of light with chemical entities can be observed in processes such as photosynthesis. But the actual interaction between photons and other matter occurs in the realm of quantum chemistry. National Academy of Sciences member and phy...
