4 Quantum mechanics- Born-Oppenheimer approximation In 1924 Louis de Broglie recognized the similarity that exists between Fermat’s principle of least time, which governed the propagation of light, and Maupertuis’s principle of least action, which governed the propagation of particles. He proposed that with any moving body there is associated a wave and that the momentum of the particle and the wavelength are related by: p=h/. It can be shown that as a result of this relation one obtains also the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: p x ≥h. Hence in order that an electron will reside in a radius around a nuclei a standing wave must exist in which

5 In quantum mechanics we deal with the solution of the Schrödinger Equation, which is an equation for the spatial and temporal behavior of the de Broglie waves: The Schrödinger Equation is given by:
