Amsterdam (pron. / ˈAmsterdam /; in Dutch: / ˌɑmstər'dɑm /,; in archaic Italian Amsterdamo) is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. The municipality of Amsterdam has 854,047 residents (as of 2018) of over 170 nationalities, while the population residing in the metropolitan area is approximately 2,289,770 people. The area included in the 17th century canal belt within the Singelgracht is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (see Amsterdam Canals).
The city has one of the largest Renaissance centers in all of Europe. Numerous buildings dating back to the period between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, also known as the "Golden Age", are now considered historical monuments and are placed around a series of concentric polygonal canals. These surround the old port, which once overlooked the Zuiderzee, today a lake separated from the rest of the sea and known as the IJsselmeer. The city is home to the Rijksmuseum (state museum), the Van Gogh museum, the Concertgebouw, the Rembrandthuis, the Anne Frank house and a huge number of bicycles.
It is also famous for its red light district, De Wallen, and its many coffee shops licensed for the sale of marijuana and cannabis derivatives. The city's official motto is "Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig" ("valiant, determined, merciful").

The Indian Air Force (in English: Indian Air Force, abbreviated as IAF; Devanagari: भारतीय वायु सेना, transliterated: Bhartiya Vāyu Senā) is the air branch of the Indian Armed Forces. Its main function is to protect the airspace of India and carry out air warfare during a conflict. It was officially established on October 8, 1932 as an auxiliary air force to the Empire of India (British India). In 1945 it was renamed the Royal Indian Air Force (Royal Indian Air Force) in recognition of its services during World War II. When India achieved its independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, the Royal Indian Air Force served the Union of India, until 1950 when India became a republic and the air force ceased to be 'royal'.
Since its independence, the IAF has participated in four wars against neighboring Pakistan and one against the People's Republic of China. Other major operations carried out by the Indian Air Force include the Invasion of Goa (Operation Vijay), Operation Meghdoot, Operation Cactus, and Operation Poomalai. Apart from conflicts, the IAF has been an active participant in United Nations peacekeeping missions.

The Indian Air Force (Hindi भारतीय वायु सेना; Bhartiya Vāyu Senā) is one of the branches of the Indian Armed Forces. In terms of the number of aircraft, they are in fourth place among the largest air forces in the world (after the United States, Russia and China).
The Indian Air Force was created on October 8, 1932, and the first squadron appeared in their composition on April 1, 1933. They played an important role in the fighting on the Burmese front during World War II. In 1945-1950, the Indian Air Force wore the prefix "royal". Indian aviation took an active part in the wars with Pakistan, as well as in a number of smaller operations and conflicts.
In 2007, the Indian Air Force had more than 1,130 combat and 1,700 auxiliary aircraft and helicopters. The high accident rate is a serious problem. From the early 1970s to the early 2000s, the Indian Air Force lost an average of 23 aircraft and helicopters annually. The largest number of flight accidents occurred in the Indian-made Soviet MiG-21 fighters, which form the basis of the Indian Air Force's fleet and have earned a reputation for "flying coffins" and "widowmakers".

The Indian Air Force (Hindi भारतीय वायु सेना; Bhartiya Vāyu Senā) is one of the branches of the Indian Armed Forces. In terms of the number of aircraft, they are in fourth place among the largest air forces in the world (after the United States, Russia and China).
The Indian Air Force was created on October 8, 1932, and the first squadron appeared in their composition on April 1, 1933. They played an important role in the fighting on the Burmese front during World War II. In 1945-1950, the Indian Air Force wore the prefix "royal". Indian aviation took an active part in the wars with Pakistan, as well as in a number of smaller operations and conflicts.
In 2007, the Indian Air Force had more than 1,130 combat and 1,700 auxiliary aircraft and helicopters. The high accident rate is a serious problem. From the early 1970s to the early 2000s, the Indian Air Force lost an average of 23 aircraft and helicopters annually. The largest number of flight accidents occurred in the Indian-made Soviet MiG-21 fighters, which form the basis of the Indian Air Force's fleet and have earned a reputation for "flying coffins" and "widowmakers".

Indian aviation took an active part in the wars with Pakistan, as well as in a number of smaller operations and conflicts.
In 2007, the Indian Air Force had more than 1,130 combat and 1,700 auxiliary aircraft and helicopters. The high accident rate is a serious problem. From the early 1970s to the early 2000s, the Indian Air Force lost an average of 23 aircraft and helicopters annually. The largest number of flight accidents occurred in the Indian-made Soviet MiG-21 fighters, which form the basis of the Indian Air Force's fleet and have earned a reputation for "flying coffins" and "widowmakers".

The Indian Air Force (Hindi भारतीय वायु सेना; Bhartiya Vāyu Senā) is one of the branches of the Indian Armed Forces. In terms of the number of aircraft, they are in fourth place among the largest air forces in the world (after the United States, Russia and China).
The Indian Air Force was created on October 8, 1932, and the first squadron appeared in their composition on April 1, 1933. They played an important role in the fighting on the Burmese front during World War II. In 1945-1950, the Indian Air Force wore the prefix "royal". Indian aviation took an active part in the wars with Pakistan, as well as in a number of smaller operations and conflicts.

[M]If its mathematical formalism is unparalleled in efficiency, its interpretation is not unanimous in the scientific community[/M].

Quantum mechanics (English: quantum mechanics) is a branch of physics. It mainly describes microscopic things. Together with the theory of relativity, it is considered to be the two basic pillars of modern physics. Many physics theories and sciences, such as atomic physics, solid state physics, nuclear physics and particle physics, and other related disciplines , Are based on it.
At the end of the 19th century, people discovered that the old classical theories could not explain the microscopic system, so through the efforts of physicists, quantum mechanics was established in the early 20th century to explain these phenomena. Quantum mechanics fundamentally changes human understanding of the structure of matter and its interaction. Except for gravity described through general relativity, all fundamental interactions so far can be described within the framework of quantum mechanics (quantum field theory).
Important applications of quantum theory include quantum chemistry, quantum optics, quantum computing, superconducting magnets, light-emitting diodes, lasers, transistors, and semiconductors such as microprocessors.
Einstein may be the first physicist to give the term "quantum mechanics" in the scientific literature.
