1. Quantum physics for molecular spectroscopy
Our understanding of the physical world is based on its partition into that which is subject to change, which we'll generically call "particles", and that which remains invariable, which we'll call "laws".
1.1 Particles of a molecular system
Of all the particles known to contemporary physics, we're going to focus on electrons, currently regarded as elementary particles, and atomic nuclei, which are composite particles made up of nucleons (protons and neutrons), themselves composed of quarks. We define a molecule as a linked system of electrons and at least two nuclei.
We'll omit the photons, i.e. the particles associated with the quantization of the electromagnetic field, at the origin of the coulombic force exerted between charged particles....
