Potential outline of quantum mechanics

This post is an attempted outline of quantum mechanics. My goal is to learn about each of these topics and organize the important principles into a clear structure. There are 45 topics organized into 4 sections.

1. Theory


1.1. Quanta
1.2 Planck constant
1.3 Atomic orbitals
1.4 Bohr model
1.5 Wave-particle duality
1.6 Quantum spin
1.7 Pauli exclusion principle
1.8 Matrix mechanics
1.9 Schrodinger equation
1.10 Born rule
1.11 Uncertainty principle
1.12 Quantum field theory
1.13 Quantum electrodynamics
1.14 Quantum tunneling
1.15 Dirac equation
1.16 Antimatter
1.17 Quantum entanglement
1.18 Feynman diagrams
1.19 Virtual particles
1.20 Path integral formulation
1.21 Quantum foam
1.22 Quantum chromodynamics

2. Interpretations


2.1 Copenhagen interpretation
2.2 Pilot wave theory
2.3 Many world interpretation
2.4 Spontaneous Collapse
2.5 Quantum bayesianism
2.6 Objective collapse
2.7 Relational quantum mechanics
2.8 Consistent histories
2.9 Many minds interpretation
2.10 Von Neumann-Wigner interpretation
2.11 Stochastic quantum mechanics
2.12 Time-symmetry
2.13 Ensemble interpretation
2.14 Quantum logic
2.15 Transactional interpretation
2.16 Modal interpretation

3. Experiments


3.1 Double slit experiment
3.2 Delayed choice quantum eraser
3.3 Bell's theorem
3.4 Afshar experiment

4. Applications


4.1 Quantum computing
4.2 Semiconductors
4.3 Superconductivity
