The previous post presented RealQM = RealAtom + RealNucleus appearing to be the first computable unified model of an atom including nucleus with full quantum mechanical representation in the form of non-overlapping charge densities of both electrons and protons interacting by Coulomb potentials.
Is this really the first full quantum mechanical model of an atom + nucleus? What have theoretical physicists been doing during the 100 years since the advent of quantum mechanics in 1925?
Yes, at least according to chatGPT, telling that there is QED for atoms = electrons+point-wise nuclei and QCD for nuclei = quarks and gluons, but QED and QCD represent different "sectors" and cannot be unified:
- There is currently no fully computable, unified quantum mechanical model of an , "atom that includes both the electrons and the atomic nucleus in full quantum detail and that is tractable for general-purpose computation.
- The lack of a unified, computable atomic-nuclear theory is not a failure — it's a reflection of the extraordinary success and specialization of the theories we already have (QED and QCD).
