Blackbody radiation, photoelectric effect, atomic spectrum, de Broglie waves, quantum entanglement, strong and weak interaction, theory of everything... What are these daunting concepts talking about? Gluons, bosons, photons, Higgs particles, neutrinos... What exactly are these "particles"? Mendeleev, Marie Curie, Roentgen, Einstein, Planck, Schrödinger, Fermi, Feynman, Born, Heisenberg, Pauli, Bohr, Landau, Dirac, von Neumann, Compton, Oppenheimer, Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, Wu Jianxiong, Ting Zhaozhong, Hawking... Why do these familiar or unfamiliar names remain in history? This is a chronicle of the microscopic world, from Mendeleev's periodic table of elements to Witten's superstring theory, telling the development of quantum mechanics from scratch. This is a collective biography of quantum mechanics scientists, recording those who have advanced the understanding of the microscopic world. Geniuses are born one by one, and pass away quietly one by one. People gather and disperse, bringing us infinite emotion. This is a history of scientific exploration that spans a hundred years. From World War I to World War II, from the discovery of X-rays to the surrender of nuclear energy, quantum mechanics scientists have promoted the development of medicine, influenced the course of war, and changed the destiny of mankind.
