    Because a solid is not an isolated atom, but rather a system of many particles, it is impossible to directly solve the basic Schrödinger equation. To describe a solid, we must turn to solid-state physics and condensed matter physics, which use approximations and quasiparticles to simplify the enormous quantum complexity to a manageable level.
