Why are Wavefunctions Important in Nanotechnology?
At the nanoscale, particles exhibit both particle-like and wave-like characteristics. The behavior of electrons, atoms, and molecules can no longer be accurately described by classical physics alone. Instead, the principles of quantum mechanics take precedence. Wavefunctions allow us to predict the probability distributions of particles, which is essential for designing and manipulating nanoscale devices such as quantum dots and nanowires.
