This article explores the application of quantum mechanics in the field of semiconductors. Key concepts include the Schrödinger wave equation and its eigenstates, transmission and reflection principles, and perturbation theory. The discussion extends to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, covering tunneling currents and charge dynamics, as well as transition rates. Additionally, topics such as quantum superposition and entanglement, along with exciton binding energy, are examined in the context of their relevance to modern semiconductor technologies.
