Abstract
To understand problems in biology, chemistry, engineering, and materials science from first principles, one can start, as Paul Dirac advocated, with quantum mechanics.1 Scientific advances made since the early 20th century attest to that view But solving practical problems from a quantum mechanical perspective using the Schrodinger equation, for example, is a highly nontrivial matter because of its various complexities.
