“Quantum-based material’s calculations are a simulation activity, not a theoretical activity.”
How would you convince someone about the above statement, in 2-3 sentences? And why do you think many people intuitively have the opposite opinion (another 2-3 sentences). Submit your answer to this forum:
Answer:
Q1: In the quantum-based material’s calculations, we solve the quantum mechanic’s equations that are already been validated through experimental data. Thus, we do not make a new set of equations anymore; instead, we utilize those equations to simulate material’s properties.
Q2: I believe the misunderstanding comes from the intuition that solving an equation is equal to developing a fundamental principle.
