First sentence: Modern theoretical methods are based in the majority on the concepts of quantum mechanics developed during the first quarter of the twentieth century by giants such as A. Einstein (1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect) and N. Bohr (1922 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them).
