Uses the Dresden and Feiock quantum mechanical Kac ring pedagogical model to illustrate formal results and approximation limitations of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. (SL)

Presents a method for simplifying calculations in quantum chemistry by calculating molecular energy from the electrostatic theorem. (SL)

Discusses a new method of presenting the scattering theory, including classical explanation of cross sections, quantum mechanical expressions for phase shifts, and use of a computer to solve problems. (CC)

Describes a simple computing system which can solve the quantum mechanical problem of a particle trapped in a rectangular potential well. (SL)

Discusses the use of a new approach, rather than quantum mechanics, to obtain practical solutions to bond energy problems. Indicates that the complex nature of mathematics and the small magnitude of bond energies involved in an approximation are two practical impossibilities for quantum mechanics to reach simple, reliable results. (CC)

Discusses the use of a small computer to solve self-consistent field problems of one-dimensional systems of two or more interacting particles in an elementary quantum mechanics course. Indicates that the calculation can serve as a useful introduction to the iterative technique. (CC)

Describes an interactive computer program which allows students to perform simulated quantum measurements on a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. (SL)
