Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by S. M. Blinder: It is from the difficulty in understanding subatomic world that we start to spend great amount of time thinking about the nature of human mind. A more detailed discussion can be found at The Quantum Mechanics of Minds and Worlds. The techniques developed from quantum mechanics, such as Feynman-Kac formula, are crucial in financial economics. It was even suggested that “Feynman could be claimed as the father of financial economics” (Dixit and Pindyck, 1994, p. 123).
