Quantum mechanical potentials refer to the mathematical functions that describe the potential energy landscape in which quantum particles (such as electrons, protons, and other elementary particles) interact and move. In quantum mechanics, potential energy plays a crucial role in determining the behavior of quantum systems, particularly in how particles are confined, how they can interact with one another, and how they can transition between energy states.
